Historic Interest
In May 1981 it was a Tetley Keg Pub. In July 1985 Jennings Bitter was expected and was on the official list in August, but by Xmas the handpump had been and gone and nobody had had a pint. The pub had been refurbished in early 1989, with Tetley Mild, Dark Mild and Bitter (H) now available, but the refurbishment was deemed a mess. A further refurbishment was undertaken in late 1991 which corrected the mess. The Great North Western Beer Festival programme listed the beers as Tetley Bitter and Moorhouse's Premier Bitter, though by December 1983 the later had gone. The closure of Moor Lane bus station opposite and its transfer to the new interchange spelled the downfall for the Albion in 2018/9.
