The Black Prince was situated at 86 Wycombe Road.
This pub was demolished in May 2016.

The pub was named after Edward of Woodstock, Prince of Wales and the eldest son of King Edward III. He was known after his death as the 'Black Prince'. He was granted ownership of the 'royal manor' of Princes Risborough in 1344, but died before his father and so never became king. Since being demolished in 2016, this ex-pub has been replaced by a row of town houses, one of which I co-own. I have a further connection and fond memories of the pub itself as I used to play football for the pub team (Black Prince FC) in the Wycombe Sunday Combination in the late 1990s. We played on a great pitch in nearby Monks Risborough, and afterwards would head to the pub for roast potatoes and a few pints. I forget the landlord's name at that time, but he was a super chap and the pub had a really nice feel to it.
