Albert, Embden Street

Albert, Embden Street, Hulme, 1930s. (c) Bob Potts [1].

The Albert Hotel was first licensed in 1863 as an Empress Brewery house on Embden Street in Hulme [2].  It was later taken over by Peter Walker & Sons of Warrington who owned the Albert Inn until it closed in 1969. Under Walkers, the Albert advertised Falstaff Ales as well as the concerts it had done previously - "Select Concert Every Evening" [1].  Embden Street was lost in the first wave of the Hulme clearances and the approximate location of it and the old Albert is roughly where Holdgate Close is today.
