Albert station

by chrishc

Albert is proud of its three bell towers, this is the third to go with those at the cathedral and town hall.

It sits above the station. Incidentally inside the entrance hall there is a huge aeroplane hanging from the ceiling.

Nestled against the cathedral

by chrishc

This is an amazing site, set beneath the streets of the town in "hidden" tunnels there are depictions of life in the trenches.

You really get a feel for what it must have been like.

	Town hall in art deco style

The fine art deco mairie

by chrishc

The Albert town hall commands the market square. Inside it is decorated in art deco style and is a nice example of a municipal building with class.

We were looking at leaflets in the reception area when a gentleman came up to us and asked if we were enjoying the town and if we needed any help. He was very proud of the town's museum (and rightly so). This charming gent was the town mayor.

This seemed to be indicative of the people of this nice little town who all seemed helpful.

	Impressive cathedral with a special Basilica

The impressive cathedral

by chrishc

The cathedral is really quite superb, red brick with much ddecoration.

The golden virgin at the top of the basilica was targeted during the first world war but although the basilica was hit and the statue toppled over below the horizontal it was held by the hand of god and refused to fall.

Today it stands proudly at the top of the tower and shines out over the surrounding countryside.
