Percy and Wagner Almshouses, Historic almshouses on Lewes Road, Brighton, England.

The Percy and Wagner Almshouses consist of twelve two-story cottages arranged in a sequence, featuring yellow stock brickwork and pointed arch windows.

Built in 1795 and expanded in 1859, these almshouses provided housing for impoverished widows and unmarried women from the Church of England community.

The buildings represent an early form of social housing in Brighton, named after Dorothea and Philadelphia Percy, daughters of the Duke of Northumberland.

Located in the Hanover district, these Grade II listed buildings underwent restoration between 1975 and 1976 to modernize facilities while maintaining original features.

These structures remain the only surviving almshouses in Brighton, featuring inscriptions above the entrance that detail their establishment year and founders.
