## Trinity Green Almshouses
In 1695, the Corporation of Trinity House established the Trinity Green Almshouses on Mile End Road, London, to house 28 retired sailors and their widows. The land was donated by Captain Henry Mudd of Ratcliffe. Designed by Sir William Ogbourne, the complex comprises two rows of houses surrounding a central green and chapel. In 1950, it was designated a Grade I listed building, encompassing the almshouses, chapel, gates, railings, and walls. The London County Council restored the surviving structures in 1954, incorporating 18th-century panelling from Bradmore House in Hammersmith into the chapel. In 2016, a proposed 28-storey tower near the almshouses was halted following local opposition, preserving the site's historic character. (en.wikipedia.org)
