Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. John Berry brewed in the Albion Inn yard in the late 1840s (there was another Albion Inn on Newgate Street (HER 10358). Jane Gamsby occupied the Albion Yard Brewery from 1857 to the early 1860s. Then Robert Shaw briefly took over. Alfred Newton Warburton, a former pawnbroker, became brewer at the Albion Yard until going bankrupt in 1867. James Burdess brewed here in the early 1870s. Along with the inn, there were also offices, stables, a large warehouse, tenements, beer cellars, a shop and a house. In 1926 Robert Deuchar bought the Albion Inn. The inn closed in 1961 under Newcastle Breweries when they transferred the licence to the Bobby Shaftoe in Armstrong Road.

Small lane between Sandgate and City Road. Behind the beer-houses, lodging houses and shops on Sandgate there were numerous alleys, chares or entries, described by Knowles and Boyle in 1890 as 'dark' and 'dingy'.. 'crowded with the miserable dwellings of the very poor'. The keelmen colonised the Sandgate area in the eighteenth century. Bourne recorded that several thousand people, mostly those who worked on the river, lived in Sandgate and the lanes off it {1}. Excavations in 1972 recorded a 3 feet deep layer of stone, clay and rubble, representing at least one surface, thought to be C13 in date. Traces of demolished walls were found at a depth of 14 feet representing a length of the chare frontage along with 2/3 of the chare itself with a rough cobbled surface. Pottery included several pieces of C13 rim sherds of cooking pots, plus C15 and C16 vessels. Bone and waterlogged wood were found, dating to C13-C16. After the demolition of the chares in C18, a dump of sand and gravel (ballast?) almost 4.27m was placed on the site with no trace of occupation or pottery. The sand was found to contain the mineral Glauconite, derived from the Greensands and exposed in the Thames Estuary. Various C16 and C17 documents provide a detailed picture of the process of ballast deposition. The ballast was retained by structures called 'ballast-shores' which prevented it from spreading to adjacent land or from fouling the river. The Common Council Minutes for 1645-50 report that a William Gibson of the east ballast-shore is to 'make a hedge and set it with quick (i.e. hawthorn) on the east and to build a stone wall on the north end'. Seeds and pollen found in quayside deposits may derive from such hedges. Chamberlain's Accounts refer to timber revetments. Dated C13-15th.
