View of the former Winnocks Charity almshouses on Military Road
These almshouses are now bungalows. According to a plaque on the bungalow nearest the camera, the almshouses were built and funded by George Rose in 1933. Looking north-northwest.

Mersea Road
To the left are the remains of the St John’s Abbey wall and to the right is an excellent watering hole the Odd One Out, purveyors of the finest real ale and cider. In former times this genuine free house was an Ind Coope establishment known as the Mermaid but that was more than twenty years ago.

Old tram depot and almshouses, Military Road, Colchester
The nearer brick building (dated 1906) and the corrugated iron shed are the rear end of the old tram depot, whose front and tram access was on Magdalen Street. Beyond are almshouses, in the same style as the smaller buildings on the main site of Kendall's Almshouses, so presumably part of them, although isolated by the tram depot.

Kendall Almshouses, Colchester
Two identical large blocks, one and a part of the other visible here, and several smaller houses typified by the building on the left. The large blocks are grade II listed buildings, dated 1791 and 1803 for the one to the right. A detail of the inscription on the pediment for the 1791 building is here
Image Rather oddly, the name of the Almshouses (at least for this block) does not correspond to the stated benefactor, Arthur Winsley. However, on older maps, before the smaller houses were built, the two big blocks are indeed called Winsley's Almshouses.
