| Albert Inn, Morley New Comic Jazz Band (Morley) |
 | Undated. The notice held up by the side of this band of musicians states Morley New Comic Jazz Band. The photo looks to have been taken outside the Albert Inn, which was part of a terrace row on Albert Road close to the Miners' Arms. Whether or not this is a different band to the Parrock Nook Band, or the same band under a different name, is not known. Certainly it has the same type of musical instruments and similar comic dress.
