George Woofindin Almshouses were built in 1898-89, paid for by a bequest from George Woofindin, a cutlery manufacturer, who also paid for the Woofindin Convalescent Home near Whiteley Woods (recently converted into very expensive flats!). There are 18 red brick cottages in a crescent, with the River Porter running through the grounds. I don't know how you get to live there, but the Convalescent Home was opened in Spring 1901, and open all year except 6 weeks around Christmas. It was "Built for the recovery of people (Sheffield & district given preference) who cannot leave home at their own expense and who can contribute 10/6 per week." (quote from the local paper at the time.) 10/6 (fifty two and a half pence) must have been quite a lot of money for a working family at the time.”
