The Prince Of Wales was situated at 14 Magdalen Street. This pub was established before 1764 and had been for much of its history a Truman’s house.  It closed in 1990, but received a new lease of life as Adnan’s Jazz Bar –but this was quite a short-lived venture, the pub again closing in around 2000.  This pub is now in use as an Indian restaurant.
