Numbers 10 And 12 And Attached Screen Wall

Numbers 10 and 12 are two almshouse flats built around 1912, featuring an attached screen wall. They are constructed from red brick in Flemish bond and have a plain tile roof. The building is square in shape and consists of two storeys with two bays on each floor. On the north side, there is a first-floor porch, and the screen wall connects the building to No 8.

The structure has a plinth and wooden cross-windows with casements. On the ground floor, each bay has a keyed elliptical arch linked by an impost string. The right arch opens into an internal porch with a window and a door made of three fielded panels (leading to No 10), while the left arch features a window. A platt band runs along the building, and there are two windows on the first floor. The eaves are coved, and the roof is a swept pyramidal shape topped with a ball on a cushion finial. An external stack is located on the left side.

On the right side, a flight of stone steps with an iron balustrade leads to the first-floor porch, which has a pilaster at the right angle. The porch features an arch similar to those below, with a door on the left side leading to No 12 and a hipped roof on the right. The attached screen wall has a round arch and stone coping at the top, sloping down from either end.

The right return shows a blind arch to the porch and a single light window on the left side of the first floor. The left return has a stack flanked by windows on both floors, with the ground floor windows featuring flat brick arches. At the rear, there are two small windows on the left side of each floor. Whiteley Village was established by William Whiteley of Whiteley's Stores for elderly residents and was designed on an octagonal plan by Frank Atkinson, utilizing prominent architects of the time.
