The Printers' Almshouses, Wood-Green, Tottenham, 1856. Inauguration of charity housing in London '...for the reception of aged and infirm members of all branches of the printing trade...The Earl Stanhope, the president of the institution, whose family name is so intimately connected with the printing trade, in both a literary and mechanical point of view, most appropriately presided on the occasion...The building is in the Tudor style of architecture [and was designed by William Webb]... It contains between thirty and forty rooms, and will give accommodation to about twelve couples...The inmates of the institution receive, in addition to the gratuitous house accommodation, a certain weekly allowance, which varies according to the amount of any other means of subsistence which the recipient may possess'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
