Weekend Reflections: When Albert met Peter...


The Albert Hall reflects in Bar 38 on Peter Street. The Albert Hall was built in 1910 for the Wesleyan Mission by W. J. Morley and in more recent years became a bar and club by the name of Brannigans.

A surprising claim to fame was its being featured on Living TV's programme Most Haunted. A former preacher at the Hall, Reverend Samuel Collier, was said to haunt the bar area, his spirit causing glasses to crash to the floor. If you were a deeply religious person and your church ending up as a drinking den I dare say you might try to do the same...

Some sneaky photos of its innermost glories and some, not so sneaky, photos here. Click to see more Weekend Reflections.

    Fantastic and neat reflection. I checked the other links and I really like the layout of the interior. By the way... I'm just dying to see a ghost.

    Fabulous reflections Chrissy, the comparison between old and new is such a great combo. Love the interior, the glass windows are gorgeous, so glad they've been incorporated into the new Club!

    Great reflection and tale. I think that spirit has a bad attitude.

    I wonder if that happens to very many churches. Probably not.
    Super reflection.
