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.

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...
