Title
Albert Bridge Road, looking south towards Parkgate Road
Description
This south facing view shows the Prince Albert public house, originally the Albert Tavern, erected on the corner of Albert Bridge Road and Parkgate Roads in 1866-8, and extended around 1871. This replaced a public house of the same name originally located inside the Battersea Park site. The Prince Albert was designed by Joseph Tanner, a City architect and surveyor, and is now the oldest building on Albert Bridge Road. A large Watney Ales sign can be seen on the side of the pub. The start of the terrace situated next to the Prince Albert can just be seen. This is Hertford Gardens terrace facing the park, which runs from 87-117 Albert Bridge Road and was built by Iles and Wood in 1885-6. Some of the distinctive decorative ironwork can be seen. On the left hand side of the photograph is the gate at the West Lodge of Battersea Park, where there is a large sign for a fun fair and for the pleasure gardens. A large number of parked cars line the road, and a temporary barrier appears to have been erected ahead.
