HOWELLS ALMSHOUSES

Charles Howell who lived at Dial House, 3 Hove Terrace, endowed these tiny houses which were first occupied in 1859, and thereafter they were supported by voluntary contributions. He would have been a sad man could he have seen the poor condition of these cottages, when they were photographed a century later on 6 September 1964. They consisted just of two rooms, one up and one down, with a tiny kitchen and an outside water closet.
