Prince of Wales Mansions was the last block to be built on Prince of Wales Drive in 1902 by Gill Knight.

These blocks back onto Albert Palace Mansions in Lurline Gardens.

Prince of Wales Mansions consist of a linked group of ten blocks of five storey flats. Each block is of red brick construction and accessed centrally between flanking gabled bays.

Entrances to each block are very distinctive with Classical rendered porticoes of varying designs some with an arch above at roof level.
