Who remembers walking past these on their way to the Infirmary or nurses home?

A hidden little corner of Worcester, tucked away near ✨

With its patterned brickwork, Gothic style doorways and diamond-paned windows, these beautiful Victorian almshouses feel like something from a storybook.

Built in the 1860s, they’re well worth seeking out if you love unusual architecture, quiet lanes and discovering Worcester beyond the main streets. 🏡
