Beautiful charity.
This little row of terraced cottages in Liversage Street, off London Road, close to Derby city centre have a certain sense of elegance.
These form part of a series of almshouses administered by the charitable Liversage Trust, providing housing for the city's pensioners. They were built in 1836 and are grade II listed. They were erected as a replacement to the original buildings on the site of Saint Peter's churchyard commissioned by the Trust.
The trust dates back to 1529 under the terms of the will of Robert Liversage, a man who had made his fortune in the wool dyeing industry.
To the right of this terrace is a modern residential home, Liversage Court, operated by the Liversage Trust.
