Located behind our beautiful Bluecoat building is a picturesque square of 16 almshouses.
The almshouses provide valuable, safe accommodation to residents over 60 on a low income who have a strong connection to Chester.
Our residents enjoy living in our secure Bluecoat Square that has a real sense of community and peace within its’ city centre location, with beautiful views over the Chester Canal, Roman Walls and North Wales hills in the background.
The comfortable properties in use today date from 1854 although almshouses have been in existence on the site since the early 1600s when The Bluecoat functioned as a hospital. The original timber framed almshouses were built to house the widows and children of soldiers who had been in the hospital.
