House, No. 3, said to have been The Albion p.h. at one time and probably one of those offered for sale together with the nearby Albion Iron and Brass Foundry in YG, 17 Dec. 1859, is an 18th-century structure which was largely rebuilt and refitted in the second quarter of the 19th century. It is now asymmetrical and double-fronted; the front doorway, approached by stone steps, has fluted demi-columns carrying a plain cornice above a fanlight with geometrical patterned glazing bars. Two brick barrel-vaulted cellars with openings at the front confirm the suggestion that the building was once a public house.
