New #heritage style streetlamps and a noticeboard have been installed, thoughtfully chosen to suit the age and character of these historic #almshouses.
A small change — but one that keeps tradition alive

Farington Almshouses. Single storey, two white doors, red brickwork and red stonework. Large chimneys. Garden path between lawns.
Osbaldeston's Almshouses. Single storey red brick with cream and dark grey-blue brickwork patterns. Several white doors, plant pots outside.
I find myself "collecting" #Almshouses. They're always so charming. These are on Fox Lane in Leyland #Lancashire.

This is a detailed account of the history and development of Dutch almshouses and their characteristic courtyard forms. Small in number (3,000 homes) compared with those in Britain (30,000) -- but nonetheless appealing as models for social housing. #SocialHousing #Almshouses

For over 70 years, a generous legacy has funded Christmas vouchers for almshouse residents aged 90+. This year, 816 residents in their 90s & 100s received festive cheer. A powerful reminder of the lasting impact of a gift in a Will.

Diprose Lodge on Garratt Lane is the gatehouse to the former St Clement Danes almshouses - Gothic Revival red brick built 1848–49, later Grade II listed. Sold to Wandsworth in 1964; today the enclave remains a mix of council-managed and private homes.

Sepia real photographic postcard showing a group of ladies at the Penrose Almshouses at Barnstaple in North Devon. Publisher not stated, No 102550. Postally unused, but with short message "1937 Alms Houses Barnstable". Very good condition, with very slight corner bumps.

Built in 1899 by Sir Henry Wiggin, these almshouses were his gift to the older people of Harborne – and they’ve been lived in ever since.
Today, they offer peaceful, affordable homes. true Birmingham legacy.

Terrace of red brick almshouses, 1 story, half -hipped gables, prominent chimneys, set back behind ragstone wall
Contribution to knowledge: these nice domestic revival #almshouses for six poor women in Yalding (Simmons Almshouses, 1863) are almost the same design as those in Church St Maidstone. Does the revised Pevsner name an architect?
