Ghostly presence lurks in Vaults - Daily Post North Wales

Ghostly presence lurks in Vaults - Daily Post North Wales: "
Jul 31 2007 By Ian Parri

STANDING within a catapult’s throw of some of Europe’s most impressive medieval fortifications, it’s little wonder the Albion Vaults is said to have a ghostly presence.

Previous landlords recall hearing parties in the early hours, only to find the bar eerily deserted on venturing downstairs to check on the commotion. Others have found old pennies left on the bar for milk stouts long since consumed.

The Albion is one of those rare commodities, a pub left virtually untouched down the decades and full of original features. It feels like one would expect a pub to feel, cloaked in a comforting dimness that’s easy on the eyes without descending into dinginess. I easily imagine working off a morning-after hangover within its comforting walls."
