Almshouses, now warehouse. Dated 1820 on first floor north wall plaque; for Trinity
House, Newcastle. Rendered painted brick; Welsh slate roof. 2 storeys, 6 bays.
First 3 bays blind; wedge stone lintel to double 4-panelled door with overlight in
fourth bay; 2 wide sashes with late C19 wood lintels and glazing bars in next bays;
upper floor blank. Hipped roof has 2 tall chimneys. Built by the Fraternity of Masters and Seamen whose headquarters were at Trinity House. Almshouses had four lodgings with two on each level. Each lodging had a small and large room - the larger heated by a fireplace. The almshouses, outbuilding and part of a stone wall were recorded in 2015 by PCA ahead of alteration. It was noted that non of the fireplaces in no 9-10 Trinity Chare survived although the breasts were extant. The original doorway and window openings in the front (east) and side (north) elevations still survive. Window openings and a doorway have been inserted into the rear (west) elevation in the second half of the 19th century. The brick outbuilding contained two toilet enclosures. The outbuilding appeared to be contemporary with almshouses (1782) at 7-8 Trinity Chare.
