The country pub is alongside Old Raglan Road (B4598) in Penpergwm, between Abergavenny and Raglan. Though there are other pubs in the UK named The King of Prussia, some which originally bore that name were renamed, especially at the time of strong anti-German sentiment during the Great War, later known as the First World War. This link http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3044130 gives some details which suggest a possible reason for the name's survival.
