Above picture taken from business card 1960 that also said the following:- A Charringtons House, Fully Licensed, Snacks available at all times, Music Week Ends. Mr. & Mrs. S. W. Lander, welcome you to the Prince Albert, 117, Edward Street, New Cross. SE14.

Now part of Greater London, this area was indeed Kent before 1965. Hence, I will be adding information regarding this pub as and when I find or it is sent to me, but at present I'll be concentrating on the areas that are within the Kent boundary today.

Your help is appreciated, and every email is answered.

I have also seen this addressed as New Cross.

The pub was a lot bigger than the picture suggests, so John Lander informs me, as the 2 blue doors were to the Public Bar and just the corner one being used, the door to the left was the saloon bar which was the biggest bar and had a stage and further around to the right was a snug bar and off sales.

Barbara Clark tells me the following:- "Took me back a few years, mid sixties. I used to work there in the evenings after work when Stan Lander was landlord. (He was really funny and a great raconteur). Met my husband there, his dad used to play the piano, Charlie Bender. People got on the mike all the time. There was also a pianola there as well. Great family pub - happy days."
