The Old Albion is said to be over four hundred years old, not always as a pub but as a private dwelling, The Albion has evolved over the years into this wonderful characteristic public house. The Old Albion name probably derives from from a ship that was a schooner built in The Gannel shipyard a mile or so away. The pub boasts two

PURE NUFF STUFF

This shampoo bar is a great and convenient way to wash your hair and body. Okay, we admit that when we first came across this idea we were a bit sceptical. Could a soap bar really work on hair as well? But, once we tried it, we were convinced.

Our Hair & Body Bar has been made with even more glycerine than our normal soaps – and the result is a bar that lathers richly and rinses to a squeak without stripping your scalp’s natural oils.

It’s very popular with men as it’s so unfussy and because it’s also brilliant for shaving. Less bulky for travelling, just plain handy for showers and comes wrapped in paper, obviously! www.purenuffstuff.co.uk
