Crown Brewery?

My dad got this bottle in a lot he won at an auction last night, it seems to have many of the tell tale signs thats its from the late 1800s but I cannot find any information on it whatsoever. I come to the bottle experts here in hopes that someone will be able identify it! The full embossing says: W Alexander Todd Crown Brewery, York.

And the top

That looks earlier to me. Is that an applied lip?

1890's British bottle.

I think it might be an applied top. The seam ends right at the finish and I can feel an indent all around the inside lip right under the blob.

Definitely an applied lip rather than a tooled lip, but since it is British, they used that more recently than in the US..I've seen 1920's British bottles with applied lips.
