Looking in a northerly direction (towards Redhill) along the front elevation of some of these Daybrook almshouses. The complex comprises twelve two-bedroom cottages erected in 1899. Sir John Robinson, owner of the nearby Home Ales Brewery, built the almshouses in memory of his son John Sandford Robinson, an amateur jockey, who died in a horse-racing accident in April 1898, aged 30 years. Sir John, who was born in nearby Arnold, was a Nottingham City Council councillor for 20 years and also a magistrate. He was made Sheriff in 1888 and High Sheriff in 1901. William H. Higginbottom J.P. (1868-1929), a Nottingham-based architect, designed a number of other buildings and edifices in Arnold and Nottingham.
