Description
The garden walls to the allotment at the rear of Penrose Almshouses were likely built in the 17th century. Constructed from cob with slate coping, these walls enclose a large garden behind the almshouses, which can be accessed from the almshouse court through a passageway. This suggests that the garden was created around the same time as the almshouses, which were completed in 1627. The tall brown cob walls have some unfortunate 20th-century cement repairs. Cob is an unusual urban building material, and these walls are significant to the overall 17th-century almshouse complex.
