Albert Inn
ID on this website: 300003925
Built in the period 1810-34. It is first shown on the 1834 town map but is not identified as a public house and so was probably originally a dwelling. It was converted to the Albert Inn in the mid C19 and is shown as such on the 1888 Ordnance Survey.
A public house of 2 storeys and 3 windows; coursed stone but with single-window rendered addition to the R-hand, and slate roof with brick end stacks, and rendered lower rear wing. Windows have flat arches and are 4-pane horned sashes, except upper centre which is blind. The central panelled door is in a moulded surround. The rendered addition to the R is earlier than the adjacent 11 Segontium Terrace. In the lower storey is a 4-pane sash window (lower sash boarded over), while the upper storey has a 4-pane sash window offset to the L. Its scribed roughcast R gable end has a window partly obscured by 11 Segontium Terrace.
The 2-window L gable end of the main range has a 9-pane horned sash window upper L, and replaced 4-pane sash windows upper and lower R. A former boarded door is lower L, to the R of which are double boarded cellar doors. A lower 2-storey wing behind, continuous with the L gable end, has enlarged windows but retains a graded slate roof.
Modernised interior.
Listed as an ambitious urban development prominently sited above Slate Quay. Notwithstanding some loss of its original unified design, the terrace contributes to the strong Georgian tradition in Caernarfon and documents the growing prosperity of the town in the early C19 in the wake of the development of Caernarfon as a major N Wales port.
