The main entrance of the former "Black Boy" pub on Albion Street. Chatham Street can also be seen running along the side of the pub towards Wellington Street. Built in art-deco style in 1923 it and had functioned continuously as a public house until going out of business due to a fall-off in trade. Planning permission has been given for its conversion into a mixture of one, two, three and four-bedroomed flats for students on the condition that the pub's cylindrical corner sign will be preserved.
