Thrale’s cafe

There is thought to have once been a Thrale`s Cafe in the Market Place, St Albans. An Italian restaurant now operates from the same premises.

In November 2003 David Thrall reported …

“I had tea here circa 1990, and just missed meeting Norman Thrale, who though very old, still came in every day.  I don't think he was the cafe type.
