Albion Inn, Pinder Street, Hulme. (c) Bob Potts [1]
The Albion Inn was on the corner of Raglan Street and Pinder Street in the south of Hulme. It is pictured above in 1961 as a Wilsons Brewery house [1] and at No.22 was the third of three beerhouses in a row on this stretch of Pinder Street - the George Inn at No.18, the Moss Side Inn at No.20. The latter closed in 1906 but the George and Albion lasted until the late 1960s [1]. The Albion Inn was roughly at the bottom end of today's Peregrine Street, around the back of ASDA, in this vastly changed latest incarnation of Hulme.

The "Beer Retailer" of the Albion Inn on the 1st December 1876 was Robert Moffat, whose son Thomas, was born there, the registration address being 22 Pindar Street, Moss Side.

DeleteI wonder if anyone can help me. I'm looking for a picture and some history if possible of The Shakespeare Inn, York St, Hulme around the 1950s. My father's dad was the publican and I'd love to be able to find some information for him to get framed. Many thanks
