hillsbro Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) My late grandfather lived in one of the almshouses; they were built in the 1820s. Here is a link to the Wikipedia article. I don't know of any connection to the George Woofindin Almshouses. Edited May 26, 2018 by hillsbro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The office for Norfolk Alms Houses is on St James Street, it's the Duke of Norfolk estates office. Woolfinden is an entirely different thing, I don't know about now but you had to have lived in the Ecclesall district most if not all your life.

soft ayperth Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 As a young kid used to live almost next door to them on Talbot Place. Used to visit an old man in there who kept a big parrot. That would be in the late '40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
