The Albion Hotel - Hanley

Corner of Lichfield Street and Old Hall Street 
photo taken 1999

The Albion Hotel, built 1902 is a fine example of Edwardian Architecture. Red brick with a stucco ground floor. There are many embellishments such as the intricately patterned gable ends and the half cylinder oriel window at the first-floor level.
The building behind is Blackburn House, the Inland Revenue tax office.
