In the lower right-hand corner Bellevue Terrace can be seen joining or leaving Lower Clifton Hill, which in turn joins Jacob's Wells Road. In the background is Queen Elizabeth's Hospital school (a.k.a."QEH"), an independent school for boys that has been located on this site since 1847. Prior to its relocation here it was housed in Gaunt's Hospital mansion house, Unity St (1590-1767) and in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, at the foot of Christmas Steps (1767-1847). Behind the ivy-topped wall is the Hill's Almshouses complex (a.k.a. Stoneleigh House almshouses). It is in Tudor Gothic Revival style and here one of its projecting rear-facing gable ends can be seen linked by a two storey 9-bay cast-iron verandah of arches with trefoils in the spandrels, a panelled screen just below the first-floor windows that look as though they have long been glazed with 20th century glazing. It also looks as though modernised apartments have now been created for somewhat fewer than the original "12 poor women".
