Sign for The Albion
This is the sign for Image Since 1763 there have been nine Royal Navy ships that carried the name HMS Albion. But because there is no HMS prefix to the name and the ship depicted is rigged as a sloop, I believe this might have been a 22 gun armed former merchantman that was hired by the navy between 1793 and 1794. The navy then purchased her outright in 1798 before selling her on in 1803 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Albion . Albion is a popular name for ships coming from mythology where Albion was the son of Neptune, the Roman God of the sea.
In poetry, England is often called Albion. This is possibly a reference to the Latin word 'albus' meaning white that could be describing the white cliffs of southern England.

The Albion
Originally built in 1902 as the Albion Hotel, this pub is located on the corner of Lichfield Street and Old Hall Street. Beautifully built of brick it looks strangely out of place beside the huge modern concrete structure next to it on the left. For a close up of the sign see Image

Bird Cage Walk, Hanley
Council gone mad! The way is too narrow to take a vehicle let alone park one. Maybe it's a warning for wheelchair users not to stop!
