Listed Building record MDO11552 - Albion Hotel, 19 High Street, Wimborne Minster

<1> Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (England), 1975, An Inventory of Historical Monuments in the County of Dorset, Volume V (East), 89 (Monograph). SDO129.

‘(34) HOUSES AND SHOPS, three adjacent, are of two storeys with attics and have brick walls and tiled roofs. The three tenements were formerly one, the New Inn; it had a W. front of seven bays, probably of c. 1700; the S. tenement is now the Albion Hotel. In the W. front the lower storey is modern, but the through carriage-way of the hotel in the third bay from the S. doubtless repeats an original feature. The upper storey retains seven tall sashed windows and a continuous moulded eaves cornice. Inside, some first-floor rooms have 18th-century panelling, and a room at the N. end of the range has a niche with shaped shelves and a niche-head with elaborate plaster-work. Oak staircases in the N. house and in the hotel on the S. have closed strings, stout turned balusters and square handrails of c. 1700.’
