Alms House, Coventry by tinley23

Alms House, Coventry

We came across this beautiful building by chance when we cut down a side road on our way to the city centre. Although it wasn’t an open day, the caretaker spotted us taking photos and reading the signs, and let us in to the courtyard. It is really lovely behind this frontage, with a number of doors leading to small houses all around the yard. A quick look on wiki later was very interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford's_Hospital
Wow, founded in 1509! Lovely old building and interesting read.

Lovely. And all the more precious being one of the tiny remnants of old Coventry left from before the catastrophic air raids.
