I’ve still not been to the pub since before lockdown
It's alright Dave I'm making up for you
Thanks mate, I was starting to feel bad
Sad. Spent my early life of the Dickie One, or the Tolly as some know it. Hardly ever went into the Union though, or whatever its old name was, Fox and Hounds?
The old dry cleaners at Well Hall being turned into The Berry and Barrel, a micro pub due to open in September. Also plans for a micro brewery just down the road at the old Rochester Way club development.
There seems to be micro pubs popping up all over the place , not sure on my feelings of them or their place in the industry but people must be liking them or they wouldn’t be everywhere.
i used to drink in the village that has what’s regarded as the 1st micro pub & that had a loverly little pub in it already that didn’t serve food & back then we just called them pubs , some big pubs some small pubs but they were just pubs.
Sad news that the Greenwich Union has closed for good.
That is sad, liked that place. Food got crap the last few years and people around there are fussy now, rightly so if your paying silly prices. Wonder if it will become residential or a new pub.
terrible picture (apologies) very long shot but does anyone know if this pub/building is still standing, think the picture is sixties and the pub was my Grandfathers, or even if there is a record of old pubs.

The Prince Regent was situated at 130 Ethelred Street (this street ran between the eastern end of Black Prince Road and Lambeth Walk). Closed c.1964, this pub has now been demolished. Ethelred Street no longer exists.
This is a picture of Ethelred Street in 1960, looking from Black Prince Road. The Prince Regent is in the centre of the picture (immediately behind the car that has its bonnet up)
That's fantastic though, and thanks very much for showing interest, I'd have happily bought a round had it still been there.
No worries, an enjoyable hour or so - just sorry its not still there. If you are interested in what Ethelred Street looked like just before it was all demolished in the 70's, the below link has some good pictures.

but it isn't. However, any web search doesn't throw up an existing Prince Regent in SE1....
