6 Plantagenet Street......The 'Workingman's Retreat' - homes..photo circa 1973
A block of 6 almshouses on the south side of Plantagenet Street. Erected 1852
Interesting article on the Nottinghamshire History website. Extract: "George Gill endowed a block of almshouse dwellings in Plantagenet Street, not far from the rapidly developing St Ann’s Well Road, and the newly- envisaged Sneinton Market. The Working Man’s Retreat was built during 1852-53, and described as ‘six neat and commodious dwelling-houses...for working men, 60 years of age and upwards, who are not paupers nor have been paupers for five years. Its foundation deed went into more detail. The Retreat was built ‘For the reception and occupation of Aged People of the working - classes, who are not paupers ...and that the objects of such charity shall be Married men or Widowers of that age of Sixty Years or upwards ...and that such objects shall be of good moral character and be possessed of ...four shillings by the week at least, but not more than ten shillings a week.’
This little block is still in existence, owing its survival to a bit of good fortune. With the redevelopment of the St Ann’s area, each occupant of the Retreat who moved out or died left behind a dwelling that remained empty and abandoned. Vandalism followed, and the trustees of the charity who administered the Retreat possessed inadequate funds for its improvement. Then, in the late 1970s, the building came to the notice of Nottingham Community Housing Association, who acquired it on a 150-year lease. In the 1980s the Working Man’s Retreat was renovated into modem self-contained homes, and is now used for general family housing."
