NMRS REFERENCE
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 Albion Place were previously numbered 50 East High Street, not to be confused with 50 East High Street N045SE, 241, grid ref 45756 50629.
Publication Account (2000)
Numbered 50 East High Street or 3,5, 7 ,9, Albion Place with property opposite, they all date from the 1770s and 1780s. On both sides, the two-storeyed stuccoed dwellings have adjoining stables, a reminder of the common form of transport at the time. The stable at no 7-9 now has a bricked-up entrance, which destroys some of the potential charm of this little close. The main property, however, does retain its original double doors and the dwelling across has its original attractive arched tripartite doorpiece, with original fanlight.
