Well done the firefighters for getting the chap out, but am amazed to find someone still trying to make a go of it there. Pubs in busier locations with wider footfall cant manage to make a go of it nowadays so it will be very difficult down there.

At least those who pass are security conscious.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
- 12 December 2012 16:16205513been thinking back on this one and can remember a planning application to convert the pub into a hostel but i haven't seen another one turning it back into a pub.
maybe the hostel never happened so a planning application would not have been required, either that or we have portacabin 2. - 12 December 2012 20:24205550I think the building was coverted with accommodation upstairs and the bar remaining downstairs.
- 13 December 2012 10:53205599I saw an advert recently in the local papers for a manager for the hostel. I spent many a happy lunchtime in The Albion, as it was, with my Townsend Thoresen Luncheon Vouchers; the best sausage, chips and beans in the town!
