Description
Nos. 10 and 10A on Octagon Road are a pair of almshouses built around 1912. They are constructed of red brick with raised brick quoins and feature a wooden cornice beneath a hipped plain tiled roof. The building has four panelled stacks and is one storey high with an attic, which is illuminated by four hipped dormers. The central return gable includes a "Venetian" window type casement on the first floor. The main entrance is round-headed, with brick impost blocks and a keystone, and is flanked by one window on the left and three on the right. The central arch has been blocked since the last survey, and entrances are now located on the sides. Whiteley Village was established by William Whiteley of Whiteley's stores for the benefit of elderly residents and was designed on an octagonal plan by Frank Atkinson, using prominent architects of the time.
