The Albion Inn was situated at 10 Albion Street. This pub was present by 1871 when the publican was Joseph Gaskill. The publican in 1935 was Frank C McKenzie. A quote from the Derby Evening Telegraph by Ron Howard 'The pub wasn't very big. There was a bar and a sitting room, with a piano and we used to have a sing-song on Saturday and Sunday nights'.

A Police constable named Atkins saw a woman with a jug and cigar in hand. She asked him for a light. Then he watched her go into the house and come out with a fresh drawn Beer. There was a fine of 40s and costs. There was another conviction for opening his premises on 31st May 1885 which was a Sunday. This time he was fined £5 or a months imprisonment.
