Alfred Evans was the founder of Evans Cottage Homes. He was born in Birmingham in 1802; and died in 1870. He was the son of Mr. Evans, a tailor in Birmingham.

These cottages were originally intended for over age 50 “maiden ladies and widows left with straitened means” (quote from the Evans obituary notice).

Here is a link with detailed information in a pamphlet about the Homes.
