Biographical history
Badger's Almhouses which were founded under the terms of Allen Badger's will 7 February 1674/5 and erected in 1698, occupied a site in Hoxton Street adjoining Weavers' Almshouses. Although intended for men they appear to have been solely used by women.
Towards the end of the nineteenth century the buildings had fallen into such decay that they were condemned and the question of rebuilding them at the rear of Fullers' Almshouses in Wood Green was considered. The Charity Commissioners, however, advised the Trustees to discontinue the almshouses altogether and use the income for the benefit of other parochial almshouses which had small endowments. As a result of this the site was let on a building lease in 1877 and by 1889 warehouses had been erected.
