Guest dex Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Does anyone remember the Albert pub opposite the City Hall. Now that was a proper pub. I used to frequent it in the early 70`s but can`t remember when it was pulled down. I think my brother took a photo when it was I`ll have to see if he still has it.

I remember the Albert well-like you said a proper pub. As a youth on the dole in the mid 70s I would go to the DHSS building on West Street, collect my dole money and head straight into the Albert with my mates. Once ensconsed copious amounts of beer and the ocassional imported herb from Morroco would make all lifes worries disappear-ah, Happy Daze....

ceegee Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just found a photo taken in 1985 from the corner of Balm Green. The wasteland behind the tree obscures where the Albert once stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield Col Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I used to work on Cambridge Street for a short time in the Sixties. After work I would often pay Albert a visit, just to make sure the world was still turning, wink,wink. I have been told the official reason for it's demise was due to bomb damage, from the nice lads in the Luftwaffe. But I don't know how true it is.
