Pritchard Jones (a local crofter's son and the co-founder of Dickens & Jones, the fashionable Regent Street store) had 6 almshouses for the "respectable poor" built either side of the avenue leading up to the remarkable community centre - The Pritchard Jones Institute - he had constructed as a gift to the people of his native community. http://www.londontaxitour.com/london-taxi-tour-shopping-department-store-dickens-&-jones.htm Image
