ALBION TAXIS

NAME:  Albion Taxis
TYPE:  Taxi rank
LOCATION:  Carters Green,West Bromwich

COMMENTS: I am not quite sure but one of two possible shops (what is now Perfect Pizza and Akash Balti) on Carters Green was once a launderette and even further back before that around 1982 or earlier a taxi rank-Albion Taxis!.
Entering through the central doorway the arcade games lined the walls to the left and right creating a small corridor to the customer hatch which was central in the far wall. The shop was not that deep so there may have been no more than two or three cabs side by side against either wall!. My main memory of this place was `Golden Invaders` which was to the right side as you entered. Golden Invaders is a Space Invaders variant,its sound was turned up very loud filling the room with the classic Thump! Thump! Thump! shew! Thump Shew! Thump! Thump!.scared smiley
