Description

Dreyer Almshouses, built in 1818, are two-storey structures made of cut flint with yellow brick dressings. They feature casement windows with three pointed lights and have two gabled entrance projections. The chimneys have octagonal shafts with capping and drip moulded bases. There is a plinth at the base of the building. The doors are near-flush-frame with cambered arches. Inscribed stone tablets in the flank gables display the date of construction.
