Description

The Albion Public House is a public house built around 1865, located on Dalton Road in Barrow-in-Furness. The building features a combination of stucco and roughcast with graduated slate roofs and stands two to three storeys high, displaying a façade with two, three, and one bays facing Dalton Road. The right end of the building is canted, facing Duke Street and Burlington Street.

On the Dalton Road front, the ground floor is channel-rusticated. The doorways in the second and fourth bays have round arches with pendent keystones. The first bay features paired four-pane sash windows, the third bay has a single four-pane sash, and the fifth bay has a broad casement, all topped with segmental arches and pendent keystones. An angled corner entrance on the right has a doorcase with a round arch, spandrel panels, and a dentilled cornice.

The first floor has broader four-pane sashes with shaped blocks and a sill band, while the smaller second-floor windows on the right maintain the same style but lack keystones. A wooden cornice with an ogee profile supports a cast-iron gutter. There are corniced stacks on the left end, on the front slope to the right of bay two, and between bays four and five. The right end of the roof is hipped. On the right return, the doorway cornice extends over a broad window with pilasters, accompanied by another large window facing Burlington Street.
