This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1970, features the historic Prince Albert public house in the village of Bletchingley, Surrey. The archival image focuses on the elaborate wrought-iron hanging sign, which depicts a white hart with a golden crown and chain, inscribed with the date “A.D. 1388.” Additional smaller black signs with gold lettering advertise “Luncheons Dinners,” “Bars Snacks,” and “Over-night accommodation.” In the immediate foreground, a white post displays a “No Coaches Sorry” notice. The background reveals the traditional architecture of the pub, a two-storey building with a classic tiled roof and white-trimmed windows. To the right, a neighbouring brick structure displays a blue diamond-shaped RAC membership sign. This factual record documents the rural charm and hospitality branding of this Surrey village landmark during the early 1970s, highlighting the area’s deep-rooted historical character.
