Albreda

Albreda was a French exclave in The Gambia on the north bank of the Gambia River that was transferred from the French colonial empire to the British empire in 1857. It was variously described as a 'trading post' or a 'slave fort'.

It was less than two miles from Fort James on the river's southern bank that served a similar purpose for the British.

Nowadays it contains a slave museum.
