Almshouses in central Nottingham were set up under the will of Able Collin who died in 1705. Redevelopment in the city resulted in the move to the Derby Road site in the late 1930s, when this part of the building was erected, comprising 26 units. With the demolition of the final city almshouses, further units were built, and there have been additional units built in recent years. In total there are currently 63 dwellings on the site, which must make it one of the largest groups of almshouses in the UK. See http://www.abelcollins.org.uk/history.htm
