The Prince Of Wales

A Memory of Kingsbury.

I lived in the Prince of Wales as Mum & Dad were the managers and we had a corgi named Sandy and two boxers, Maxie and Susie who enjoyed the big garden at the back. This was the last years of school and I think we were there until the early 70's maybe 71 or 72. There was a large dancehall at the back with 'dances' on a Friday and Sunday night with a live band and then this room changed to being The Bandwagon disco. Happy memories.

My Dad worked at the Prince of Wales, he was the manager there for a while. I have a picture of me with two big Alsation dogs that were the pubs guard dogs in the pub garden. I went to several dances there in the sixties - Bert Jansch played there in a folk club, but it didn't catch on.

Oh my goodness, I remember the two Alsatian she. The day Mum and Dad took over we waited in the kitchen upstairs for something and the two alsations came in. We had a corgi at that time and he bravely walked up the them, had a sniff and returned to Mum and myself. So we obviously moved in after you. How amazing!

Charlotte Munroe : It was demolished in about 2004 I think. I don't think it was doing much business. It was replaced by a Tesco Express and flats above it. Not quite as characteristic I would suggest!!
