The Princess Amelia was situated at 80 Henniker Road. This pub was later known as Taffy O'Bradys and Wee Jock. It has now been demolished.
When I was a student at North East London Poly, I lived on Henniker Road for a short time in about 1972/3, very close to the Princess Amelia. Though I used the union bar most of the time I went in the Princess Amelia on odd occasions, and it was a real locals pub, not the Yorkshire sort of local pub where if you are a stranger they let you know you are a stranger, but a warm welcoming East End locals pub where the juke box was used for a real knees up for all ages. I have often thought about going back as my daughter now lives around the corner, but in a way I am glad it is closed as that means the really warm memory I have of it will not be undermined by how it would be now.
