The Albert Inn was just off Stretford Road on the corner of Erskine Street and Hyde Street in Hulme. These days the same corner is an overgrown mess with the western end of Hyde Street (known as Cornbrook Grove a century ago) no longer a thoroughfare. The Albert was a Cronshaws Brewery then Groves & Whitnall house which was demolished fairly recently in 1985 [1].

There was another Albert Inn in Hulme, being the building at 95 Silver Street. That one is given the name in the census and is sometimes recorded as a beerhouse. Members of the Kelly family, who operated several pubs in Manchester and Salford, ran it from the 1880s to circa 1910.
