Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

The Norris Almshouses were erected in 1893 on Berridge Road in Sherwood Rise, Nottinghamshire.

They comprise a row of eight one-bedroom houses for Ladies, designed by the architect Fothergill Watson and paid for by Mary Smith Norris (1827-1909) in 1893 in memory of her brother John Norris.

The charity objectives were to provide a residence available for poor widows or spinsters or married couples of not less than 60 years of age resident in the City of Nottingham or within a distance of 6 miles therefrom. Preferences shall be given to persons so qualified who are members of the Church of England or some orthodox Protestant dissenting denomination.
