stpetre Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Went in Albion more than once it was full of west indians they were good folks ---------- Post added 29-01-2016 at 09:22 ---------- Think Jamaicans went in as well but were all ok with I thought that Jamaican's were West Indian or Caribbean's.... but anyhow ... a classmate of mine At Burngreave school-1958-62, Michael Willougby (and his sister) the licensee was their uncle, resided there. and when the 'Albion' was the subject of re-development, the family moved -in 1966 -to another 'Ward's' pub. the 'Tea Gardens' on Grimesthorpe Road.

hillsbro Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The Albion Hotel was on Earsham Street next to the funeral directors.There were three pubs called the "Albion Hotel" or simply "The Albion" in Sheffield, on Earsham Street, Mitchell Street and London Road. The OP is evidently referring to the "Albion Tavern" on Verdon Street. Here are links to two photos on the picturesheffield.com site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I think it was the Golden Perch. Hillsboro - thank you I knew this was definitely a hotel as my great grandparents owned it and I know they had guests staying. I'm not 100% sure but recall it may have been a 6 day house (closed on Sunday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf1956 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The Albion which the op was talking about was on Verdon Street & is not the Albion which was on Earsham Street next to John Heaths funeral directors which also had name changes to the Mill & Golden Perch.
