<p>Yes thats right, the Fishmongers and Poulterers Almshouses. Demolished around 1956 for the Civic Centre. The Civic Centre is closed for refurb at present and has a hoarding with several interesting historic photos- well worth a look!</p>

<p>An interesting wee snippet that didn't quite fit into the main narrative was published in the Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette on 6the November 1862:</p>
<p><em>One of the heroes of the Nile died on Tuesday last, at the Printers' Almshouses, Wood Green, Tottenham, Mr. Robert Hall, at the ripe ape of 84.

<p><em>One of the heroes of the Nile died on Tuesday last, at the Printers' Almshouses, Wood Green, Tottenham, Mr. Robert Hall, at the ripe ape of 84. The deceased was engaged in the first great naval victory, obtained by Lord Nelson of the Nile, on the 1st of August 1798, which victory he survived.</em></p>
<p><em>After quitting the naval service he resumed his original occupation of compositor, in the employ of Mr. Clay, of Breadstreet-hill, and continued with that gentleman upwards of 30 years, when, in 1854, he was elected annuitant the funds of the Printers' Pension Society. Subsequently, in 1857, was elected inmate the ' Printers' Almshouses, where he continued till his death.</em></p>
<p><em>He is kindly remembered by his former employer and other friends, with tolerably good health, till a few weeks prior to his decease. Leaves an aged widow, who will remain an inmate of the printers' haven of rest.</em></p>
