Nostalgia Then and now: The lively past of this former city pub
THEN: The Albion pub in Bath Road, Worcester, on the corner of Diglis Road in 2012. This prominent and distinctive three-storey building just outside the city centre was popular with regulars and pool players. The Albion Vaults, as it was known, was built in 1826 as a hotel to serve the busy Diglis Docks. In the 1950s, 60s and 70s the Mitchell and Butlers beer went down well with locals. When it was more of a rural location in the 1800s, the pub had something of a chequered past with a catalogue of incidents and characters. Bath Road was mostly known in the past as the Tewkesbury or Gloucester road before Bath became popular as a spa. The area around the site was previously home to a turnpike tollgate.
