Prince Albert Pub From 1952 Until 1968 When We Moved Away
A Memory of Salfords.
I remember the Prince Albert pub very well and also being scared of their boxer dog, Chang, who used to roam freely on the common, I think you can see Chang in the forground of the picture. I was born in 1952 and lived at No 27 in Woodhatch Road. We used to fly our model aeroplanes on the common and the common keeper called 'Goldie' used to tell us off for being on the common. He said they had supplied a field for model flying the other side of Three Arch Road, but the grass was always too long for a good take off for the models.
The last time I drove past the pub I was horrified to see that it is now a McDonalds!!!
I've have noticed that the text about the pub has a small error in it. The text says that the pub is situated in South Earlsfield, this should read South Earlswood.

I too remember the Prince Albert well. I was born in 1963 and began my drinking habits there by about the age of 15 when my then boyfriend Andy used to take me there. I remember the landlord and lady very well too. My friend and I did get chucked out once for dancing on a table in the public bar, but we were back soon enough all forgiven!
