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
Hey, I just seen this I am not sure you even got the flat. This was family’s pub my Nan and Grandad had this pub from when my mum was seven. This is my whole childhood and I miss it desperately. I was in Deptford watching Millwall a while back and took a picture outside the pub.
ReplyDeleteHello my husband lived at the pub with his parents and as a family we can tell you lots about the pub
ReplyDeleteI would love to know more about this place. I currently live in what was supposedly the billiards room upstairs with the large ornate mirror. Anyone who has any stories about the place, I'd love to hear from you!
