Wimborne - Albion Inn
Formerly part of the New Inn in the C17, it is the oldest surviving licensed premises in the town. The present building is C18 and grade II listed. During those times the upper rooms were used as a Magistrates Court, and by members of the Poole Turnpike Trust. It was a busy coaching inn, and in the C19 King George III's coach would call here en-route to Weymouth, and the coach carrying transportees bound for Australia after sentencing would also call here for the overnight stop from Dorchester.

The Albion Inn, 19 High Street, Wimborne Minster
Grade II Listed 18th century inn. A plaque on the wall reads 'THE ALBION INN Town's oldest surviving licensed house. Formerly THE NEW INN, a 17th century coaching halt. In 1834 the Tolpuddle Martyrs stopped here en route to transportation to Australia as convicts.' It has housed the magistrates’ court, a school house and reputedly was once a place of refreshment for King George III as he travelled to Weymouth. The 1777 refers to the establishment of Hall and Woodhouse Brewery. Searching my directories produces a confused picture. In 1842-1844 we have Edward White Bowles (& posting house), New Inn, High Street. In the 1850s two New Inns are listed, interestingly under 'Taverns & Public Houses' not 'Inns'. One is at 'Hill butts' that I'm ignoring but otherwise; 1851 Winter Lamiman, New Inn, Stocks; 1852 not listed with just the 'Bell' and 'Greyhound' in High Street; 1855 C Bagg, New Inn, Holt. By 1859 it is listed again in High Street and by 1889 as the Albion; 1859 Henry Braine, New Inn; 1889 Tom Coombs, Albion; 1895 Albion no victualler given; 1911-1915 Mrs A M Meek, Albion. Was the New Inn, apparently in a location named 'Holt' or 'Stocks', another pub and this one closed? I can't locate a Holt or Stocks on the Wimborne maps I have access to.
