Grade II listed Bridges Almshouses, Keynsham

Located at 46-56 Bristol Road (A4175). A terrace of six almshouses built in 1685, founded by Sir Thomas Bridges. There are two armorial cartouches at the level of the upper-floor windows. A lion represents Lady Anna Rodney, and a cross, Sir Thomas Bridges. My own mundane observation was how small the black front doors are - about 5 feet high, at most. The almshouses were Grade II listed in February 1950. On the right at 44 Bristol Road is Virginia House.
