The Prince Alfred was situated at 22 Tobago
Street. This Trumans house was a small pub with a corner door, a large bar
window in Tobago Street, and another in Manilla Street. It closed through bomb damage but
stood derelict with its back wall missing up until the 1960's, with the
bathroom and toilet upstairs on view for all to see! Even after
demolition, the ground floor shell remained as part of a perimeter fence of
the Thompsons Factory, still retaining its beer coloured glazed tiles. The
last of it was pulled down in early 2000's. It was also known as The
Bucket. |
