Description

Nos. 132 to 136 on Octagon Road are a row of almshouses built around 1912. They are constructed from red brick with raised quoins and feature a plain tiled roof that is hipped with two ridge stacks. The building is single storey and has entrance arches at both ends of the front, with an additional entrance off centre to the left. Small casement windows are located to the left and right of the centre. Whiteley Village was established by William Whiteley of Whiteley's stores to provide for thrifty elderly individuals and was designed in an octagonal layout by Frank Atkinson, utilizing prominent architects of the time.
