Full Description
An inn recorded in 1784. It was known as the Anchor between 1830 and 1850 and later as the Ruffled Anchor, before finally changing to Prince of Wales. It closed around 1908 and was converted into a tailor's shop. The building was probably demolished around 1965, when the Haven Bridge was being constructed. {1}{2}
