I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.

After closure and by 1914, the pub has ceased trading and was operating as a dairy as shown in the pictures.

Information taken from the book 'Swanscombe, in old picture postcards' by Christoph Bull and refers to the 1935 photograph:- The view is the junction of Stanhope Road into the High Street around 1935. The Slabs or 'Squint Eye Row' cottages can be seen on the right of the picture, but it is Ramsdales Dairy, which dominated the view at this time. The Dairy was formerly the "Prince of Wales" public house, which ceased business around 1914 becoming one of the three dairies in Swanscombe, which survived into the late 1930s. The whole parade of shops including Ramsdale's Dairy and the neighbouring cottages in Milton Road (to the left) were demolished in 1961 and replaced by a red brick row of shops.'
