Porters And Walters Almshouses, St Leonard'S Almshouses

Porters and Walters Almshouses, also known as St Leonard's Almshouses, were built in 1904 and consist of a two-storey range of four houses, each containing four flats. The building features five windows on the first floor and two wide canted bays on the ground floor, with a door situated between them. Constructed from red brick with quoins, the roof is slated and has wood moulded and modillioned eaves cornice. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are set within exposed moulded frames and are topped with gauged flat brick arches, with brick aprons beneath. The cornices of the ground floor bays are continuous, creating a hood over a central round-headed door that includes a traceried round light. This hood is supported by square posts and features carved angle brackets, while the lower parts of the bays are pebble-dashed. St Leonard's House, the Commemorative Stone, and the front railings and gates together form a group with the almshouses.
