A superb view of Albert Road in the mid-Edwardian period. To the
right of the photograph is the Albert Hotel. Note that the
trees, probably planted at the time Albert Street was laid out,
are well established by this date. A well dressed man appears to
be addressing someone inside a first floor window but there is
somebody standing on the step - the wife of the publican
perhaps? There is a lot of activity in the street and plenty of
horse dung! It's a splendid scene and helps to explain why
Albert Road was such a desirable place to live in the Victorian
and Edwardian era.
