EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Prince of Wales public house, located in the heart of Holloway, London. Established in 1929 and owned by the Charrington and Company Limited, this local watering hole was a beloved institution in the community. The image, taken from a frontal perspective, showcases the classic design of the pub with its ornate brickwork, decorative signage, and inviting entrance. The reverse side of this print reveals a poignant piece of history, detailing the pub's trading record from 1929 to 1943. However, the record is incomplete, as the Prince of Wales was tragically destroyed by a German V2 rocket on December 26th, 1944. This devastating event took the lives of 68 people, leaving a deep impact on the local community. Despite the heartbreaking history, the Prince of Wales remains a symbol of the resilience and spirit of the people of Holloway. This photograph serves as a reminder of the pub's rich history and the memories it holds for generations of locals. Whether it's a place to grab a pint, share stories, or simply soak in the history, the Prince of Wales continues to be an essential part of the fabric of London's vibrant pub culture.
