New Albion

New Albion, formerly known as Albion United Reformed Church, is a former United Reformed Church built in 1856. It was designed by architect Thomas Oliver junior from Sunderland, with construction overseen by contractor Mr. Smith of Woolpack Lane and Clerk of Works William Booker from Nottingham. The building was enlarged in 1904. It features a combination of ashlar and red brick, topped with a concrete tile roof, and is designed in a classical style. The structure has a plinth, entablature, and a parapet with balustrade panels, with bays divided by fluted Ionic pilasters. It is two storeys high and consists of three by five bays.

The entrance front is notable for its pediment, which is topped with a corniced pedestal. It has a tall round-arched central recess that contains a triple doorway. Above this is an entablature and a sham balustrade, along with a single window. Each side bay features one window on each floor, with flat-headed windows on the ground floor. The returns have regular fenestration in the same style. At the rear, there is a lower addition from 1904, made of brick and two storeys high, which includes two round-arched windows on the ground floor.

Inside, the church is rendered, with a floor inserted at balcony level and a concrete staircase at the west end. The interior features five bays of arcades with moulded round arches supported by slender cast-iron Corinthian columns. There is a segmental plaster vault with a moulded cornice. At the east end, a moulded elliptical arch with pilasters leads to the similarly vaulted chancel. The aisles have stepped floors and flat ceilings with cornices, and there are round-arched recesses and stairs at the west ends. The ground floor has been refitted as a night shelter, with columns encased in concrete.
