1, 2 And 3 Scott'S Almshouses

Scott's Almshouses, consisting of Nos. 1, 2, and 3, were built in 1896 by John E Leak. They are constructed of red brick with stone dressings and feature a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has five bays. It is a row of three houses with a projecting parapeted ground floor. Each house has porches supported by short stone columns, glazed doors with overlights, and windows that include 2-, 3-, and 2-light mullion and transom designs. The first floor features cross-windows with gabled pediments above, along with moulded copings and ball and vase finials. There are banded chimney stacks located at the rear of the ridge on the left, forward of the ridge in the centre, and at the right end. On the left side, there is a ground-floor 3-light bay window with a segmental pediment above, which holds a plaque with raised lettering that reads: 'ERECTED AND/ ENDOWED BY/ JOHN SCOTT ESQ/ 1896'. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of a group of almshouses.
