Albion Hotel, Albury

Albion Hotel, Albury
Albion Hotel, AlburyThe Albion Hotel, in Dean Street, Albury was designed in 1941 by Frederick Morsby. It has been modified since then, particularly at street level, and the scaffolding on the roof indicates that this pub is still undergoing change.

The Albion was one of the buildings spotlighted during the Albury - Delightfully Deco exhibition programme and I think it looked pretty in pink.
