New Alms-houses at Northfleet, 1844. Creator: Unknown

New Alms-houses at Northfleet, 1844. These buildings have just been erected at Northfleet [in Kent], from the design of Mr. W. Chadwick, of Adelaide-place, London-bridge. The present design, however, only comprises twelve dwellings - the intended number being forty. They have been built from the private funds of Mr. John Huggins, of Sittingbourne, Kent, and are intended for the peaceful havens of those persons who, in common parlance, " have seen better days" ; each of whom is to receive, in addition to this abode, a pension of twenty-one shillings per week. In the centre is a chapel, of neat design, in the pointed style, with a lofty spire. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
