Hello there, I too chanced upon this forum and I am hoping that someone can help potentially. My dad told me that my grandad was born in an 'almshouse' and having searched I obtained his bc which stated his place of birth was 2 Pearsons Yard, Red Lion Street ( July 1907). Does anyone know more bout this location? Was it a poorhouse of some description, I know that the area was generally v poor. Many thanks Amy
