RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted February 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2019 Estate agents details say that it is, and its position relative to the road also suggests that it could be. But it does not look "right" to me https://www.findmypub.com/properties/view/22442. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBill Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 In 1900, there was an Albion Hotel beside Verwood "train" station, which is presumably the same building: https://maps.nls.uk/view/106009005 Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted February 3, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Bill, You are right. I have just been doing a bit more research and it shows clearly on various maps that The Albion was in the station forecourt. The alignment of the old tracks, which one can still see clearly on Google Earth, would be wrong for that to be the station building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Budd Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The Albion Inn was the station hotel. The station site is buried under a new road alignment and housing estate. Part of the original road alignment leads off the new road and into the pub car park and the old road bridge still stands and can be seen behind the pub from the new road. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted February 3, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks, Arthur. I have driven past the pub many times and never noticed the old road bridge in what is now the pub garden. The NLS map that Bill referenced shows the old road alignment clearly.
