My best man ran this pub 1969/70 shame to see it's closed another nail in the coffin of the brewing trade

1970, had my first beer there that year, an older mate brought a pint of mild outside for me to try.

The first week my best man took the Albion over in 69/70 the girlfriend and I had an argument and part of Aston Road North was demolished . Somehow she managed to stray from the pavement and got her slacks full of mud and her shoes . Strong drink these brandy and babychams haha
