Bill Jones. Rather than be frustrated by the knowledge of members on the " G the P" thread, go to google- John W's suggestion is on there- & read about these places, you will end up with more knowledge of the place than most of the current inhabitants. And, like these almshouse, it really can be interesting history.

John/Grandarog. Most interesting, there must be a bit of history attached to those almshouses for, as you say, they must be the biggest in the country and cost a lot of money to build. Was there a local benefactor or was Faversham quite rich in those days?

Thanks John Walker. That was good one. I knew it and had been holding back from day one but as it didn't seem to be going anywhere, I jumped in.

I reckon you have taken an obscure and unusual view of a wing of the Faversham Alms Houses. Probably from Tanner Street.


Well done Grandrog.  Yes, the photo was taken from Tanner Street.  It's got to be one of the largest alms-houses in the country?


The yellow/red circle is where the photo was taken from.

Getting closer Pete.  This property is around three times bigger than Preston Lea Hall.
