5. Albion

Woking, Surrey view map

This is directly opposite the entrance to Woking railway station so is a bit of a gateway for that traffic. If I do remember the Albion Hotel on this site, it is fuzzy as it was demolished when I was 6 or 7. It was replaced by Albion House in the early 60s, and now that building is being extensively rebuilt and it seems that it may well be ready for business in a few weeks.

My photo depicts the side of the building with traces of Albion House twice. No doubt these letters will disappear shortly. I believe the new development is known as 'Woking One' but whether the name Albion name will survive in some form, I'm not sure.

Does look like an upgrade would be welcome.

I think the upgrades will be welcome in the area.

This is a cool scene, because, like Dennis, I really like seeing hints of the past. V
