The "Prince Albert" in King Street was formerly the "Carpenter's
Arms," and gained notoriety when a marker in the billiard room hanged
himself at the age of fourteen. The pub was owned by Cobbs of Margate, who
were seemingly subjected to a vendetta by the Ramsgate licensing authorities
in the early 1900s, as most of their pubs in the town were shut in quick
succession. The "Prince Albert" shut its doors for the last time in 1909.

The Era 28 August 1842.
A daring robbery was committed on Friday morning last, at Mr. Jesse
Rood's, "Prince Albert Inn," Ramsgate, by two of the London "gentry,"
who broke open the desk in a room on the second floor, and stole upwards
of £16 in gold and silver, with which they got clear off, as the robbery
was not discovered until nearly two hours afterwards, when Mrs. Rood,
having occasion to go upstairs for some silver, found that the lock had
been forced and the whole of the cash in the front of the desk extracted
therefrom.

BROADSTAIRS LOCAL BOARD.
This Board met on Monday, when Mr. E. S. Goodson presided.
THE PRINCE ALBERT INN.
A communication from Mr. J. Walsh, "Queen's Arms," Lower William Road,
London, with reference to the above premises, which are situate in High
Street, Broadstairs, was to the effect that if the owner had any idea of
pulling down the premises would the Board feel disposed to make him an
offer for the space required for the improvement and widening of the
High Street in that particular part. The frontage amounted to 48 1/2
feet, and he presumed that 8ft. would be the depth required for the
widening of the said street. Mr. Pointer moved that the matter be
referred to the Works Committee and
this was seconded and carried unanimously. |
