RE: Albion Inn / Tavern, Albion Street, Cheltenham

 
Hi Geoff, 
 
Interesting one. I think you have some of the landlord listings in this listing mixed up with ANOTHER Albion Inn/Tavern in Albion Street.
 
The Turf Tavern at no. 100 (next to the George Tap at 101 and before the Lamb Tap became the Albion Inn sometime between 1883-4 and 1890-1
 
The Turf Tavern landlords listed in old directories after H.T. Cull in the 1872-3 Royal (also identified as a brewer) are 
 
1876 and 1878 Royal Directories – R.J. Barnard
 
1880-1 Post Office Directory Edward H. Rogers
 
1883-4 Post Office Directory Charles Page
 
1890-1 Post Office Directory Mrs. Simpson (Albion Inn)
 
1902 and 1903 Built-Leonard Directory W. Brown (Albion Tavern)
 
1904 Built-Leonard P.A. Kilminster (Albion Tavern)
 
All are in-order street listings, so definitely at 100 between Lamb & George Taps
 
Regards,
