Latterly known as Widow's Cottages, these were originally Almshouses founded by Sir Thomas Bloomfield. They were built in the 1840s in Nottingham Street, later renamed Spa Street, after the German Spa in what is now Queens Park. When Spa Street was demolished in the late 1890s under a slum clearance scheme, and replaced by Tillstone Street, the old almshouses were left untouched and here they remained until 1947 when they were removed. They had been derelict for several years previously.
In the background is the chimney of St Andrews Presbyterian Church.
