punters palace (albion hotel) collingwood - pre renovation
canon canonet QL17
On a corner site with a notable richly-decorated design including decorative use of grapes and vine leaves, the hotel was built for Patrick Coyle who had previously owned a house on the site and was the publican at the Grace Darling Hotel. The first licensee was Patrick Devern. After some years as the slightly insalubrious 'Punters Palace', it was purchased by local brewer Bodriggy who renovated it in 2021 and 2022 and gave it a brief life as a 'refreshment club' before thankfully reinstating its original name.
