A pub that appears to have changed sex - on an 1870s survey it was called the Prince of Wales. Although not named on maps thereafter, it was later the Princess of Wales (unless the OS got it wrong in the first place). H.G. Wells in 'War of the Worlds', written in 1895, does not refer to either name, but has a 'Spotted Dog' not far from his Narrator's house where he hired a dog cart for his household evacuation. It has been surmised that he had this pub in mind.
