Dowell's Almshouses in Warner Street, consisting of 20 houses and a chapel, known as the "Retreat," were built in 1820. Mrs. Glover's Almshouses in Steelhouse Lane for 36 aged women, were erected in 1832. James Lloyd's twenty-four Almshouses in Belgrave Street were erected in 1869

Here are the Almhouses of St Albans Church Highgate/Balsall Heath

Adjacent to St.Albans church is the attractive setting of the Lench's Trust Almhouses. A stone plaque informs that they were erected in 1879 and at the time the Bailiff's were Charles G.Beale and Henry Buckley. The buildings were once those of the King Edward VI Boys' School.
