The new houses and the pub were destroyed during the Second World War, but the remains of New Row survived until 1957. |

These
early eighteenth century houses were known
as New Row for a century, before more sensibly
taking their place as part of Prince Street.
They must have been built with shipbuilders
in mind, as the main gate of the Deptford
Royal Dockyard was just around the corner.
The old houses originally extended to opposite
the dockyard gate, but the ones in the distance,
including the Tiger Cat pub, were rebuilt
in the 1880s.
