Hello,
Hoping the Deptford history community might be able to help me out with something...
My partner recently bought a ground floor flat in the former Princess of Wales pub (88 Grove Street), which was converted into flats in 2006 and I'm keen to hear from anyone who might have photos of the interior of this building when it was still a pub and if not photos, then any kind of description of how it looked inside (the layout, etc), or even any anecdotes or memories of time spent in there.
Sadly, when
the building was converted, all original features and any kind of character were
removed from the ground floor and basement (the upper floors still have some
original fireplaces, ceiling roses, etc). We're about to embark on stripping out
and redesigning the flat he's bought and as a history-obsessed designer, I want
to make sure we're being sympathetic to the building's history. All memories of
this place would be welcomed!
Thanks
Hannah
