Description
The Prince of Wales Inn, on the E. side of a road running towards the S. Some of the filling in the walls is of plaster, and the S.W. end is of brick. Inside the house is an open timber ceiling with rough beams and joists (B1).
The building is shown on 1880 1st edition and 1899 2nd edition 25-inch OS maps, though not named as an inn or public house, so presumably was no longer in use as a pub. The 1923 edition 25-inch OS map shows that the building had been partly demolished and the outbuildings had been demolished. The whole building had been demolished by 1947 (RAF aerial photos). The site was been subsequently built on, and a modern replacement Prince of Wales pub built on a new site further south (B2).
