Trinity Green Almshouses, 17th-century almshouses in Whitechapel, England

Trinity Green Almshouses consist of two parallel rows of residential buildings surrounding a central garden and chapel with a clock tower.

Built in 1695 by the Corporation of Trinity House, these almshouses provided homes for retired sailors and their widows at a cost of 12 shillings monthly.

The buildings represent early social welfare initiatives in London, demonstrating the maritime community's commitment to supporting its retired members.

Located on Mile End Road in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, visitors can view the exterior architecture and central garden throughout the year.

These almshouses became the first structures on England's preservation register, establishing the foundation for the current listed building system.
