Description
Joseph Crossley's Almshouses were built in 1863. The dwellings at Arden Road were originally designed for retired Crossley employees, and, on appointment, residents were given a table, a chair, a bed, a Bible, and a small pension from Crossley funds. As time has gone on, the conditions have changed. In the early 1980s the dwellings were upgraded from the original standard, and were also enlarged, by making two new flats out of three original dwellings.
