Description
The Jubilee Almshouses are a group of almshouses dating to around 1887, designed by WW Robinson for the Ancient Order of Foresters. They are located on White Horse Street and Chandos Street, Hereford, forming an L-shaped layout. The buildings are constructed of brick, with a plain tile roof featuring a central gable, modillion ridge tiles, and eight banded brick stacks topped with castellated pots. The front has a 17-window range, featuring moulded wooden cross-windows with casements, and paired four-panel doors with porches. The roof projects forward, supported by cast-iron columns on dwarf walls, with yellow brick bands adding detail.
The White Horse Street frontage incorporates a timber-framed gable with an ornamented finial and bargeboards supported by wooden consoles, above a 20th-century plank door and overlight, set under a segmental arch with a stone hood moulding and a figurehead keystone. A tablet displays a stag and verderers, with the inscription "A.O. Foresters Court Maiden No.2849, Jubilee Almshouses. AD. 1887". The rear elevation has similar cross-windows. The Chandos Street frontage features a small half-gable with pierced decoration and a finial.
