Full description
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, SX76SE16 (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV350362.
The Lamb Almshouses were formerly The Lamb Public House. The Lamb Almshouses were pulled down and the site is now an open space added to the cattle market. Almshouses were rebuilt in The Grove, near Norris's and the Old Lower Almshouses, and they are now let, the rents going to the repair of Norris's and the Od Amshouses.
A visit on 15/08/1951 confirmed that the almshouses are sited at SX79936027 from Wyndeatt's description, and formerly the name Lambs Almshouses was incorrectly applied to the rebuilt almshouses near The Grove. These appear to be now converted into two dwelling houses at SX80316025.
