September 13th – The Henry Boys Almshouses are a bit of a mystery to me, to my shame. Near the Corporation Street junction, they stand both proudly and secluded on the Wednesbury Road, just south of Walsall Town Centre.They really are gorgeous – a square crescent of red-brick and terracotta terraced bungalows with lots of decorative features. I suspect they may be connected to the General Hospital, which used to be on the other side of the road. Anyone know more?
