The Prince Albert was situated at 35 Talacre Road. Known as the Rose of England at the time of demolition, this pub's address was formerly 35 Weedington Road prior to street renaming. Closed c1995, this site is now occupied by 1990s housing.
My family lived opposite at number 50 and were in the pub when the bomb hit it and took away the upstairs. Apart from the landlady getting cuts from the broken bar mirror there were no casualties. My father had just ordered a sherry and a pint when the bomb hit. Afterwards the drinks were still intact if a little dusty so dad blew the dust off and they drank them.

My Great Uncle Philip William Sprinz owned the Prince Albert Pub at 35 Weedingdon Rd, Kentish Town in 1891. He would have been newly wed to my Grandfather’s sister, Jane Wilkinson. Uncle Phil went on to become a barrister a few years later. He would have been 26 years old, and Aunt Jane a girl of 18!
