    Prince of Wales Summer Lane

    Listed as "already closed" by 1930 page 84 : There were at least three pubs that went by the name The Prince of Wales, one was in Summer Lane, just a few doors away from The Vine. It was only a small pub and a man named Whittaker is remembered as the last licencee, before it was closed down.
