A few months back I posted a picture of the Fishmongers Almshouses which used to stand where the Civic Centre is today. This picture is a little further south and shows what used to stand where an anonymous office block is today.
Read more about the almshouses and sees some great pictures form the 1950s here.
Below is another shot putting the building in context:
And here is what we have in that spot today:

Albums: Historical Images of Wood Green | 1 of 3 (F)
I remember these Printer's Almshouses. When I was about 10 years of age I used to walk along the balcony just because it was there. I lived round the back in Ringslade Road.
Amazing picture. Thank you for posting.
I used to walk past the Almshouses on my way to school (Trinity Grammar) between 1958 & 1962. I believe they were still occupied then.
