Almshouses in Colton, Staffordshire, UK
These six Almhouses, also known as The Barracks, were built in 1793 to serve the poor of Colton. Some of the ladies you can see in the picture could have been born in the 18th century!
This picture was uploaded by the Colton History Society - on their website you can find a lot of articles about the history of this village located just outside of Rugeley in Staffordshire.
