Albion Hotel - History
"In the shadow of a large modern construction near the centre of Hanley stands this fine example of Edwardian architecture, the Albion Hotel, dated 1902. It has a pleasant two-bay frontage, built mainly from red brick, with a stuccoed ground floor, and delightful decorative embellishments.
The name of this hotel was probably derived from a house that had previously stood on or near the same site. In an early 19th century directory, such a building is described: "Albion House, at the top of Shelton, is a handsome modern structure, coated with Roman cement, belonging to Mr. W. Parker, a gentleman extensively engaged in the import trade of cobalt and zaffres . . . description by Neville Malkin 4th August 1976 " SOURCE: (
