The centre block at the front of Geffery's Almshouses, showing the entrance and pediment decorated with festoons and the motto 'God is our strength'

Date: Nov 1913

These almshouses were designed by architect George Hubbard for the Ironmongers' Company to replace some on Kingsland Road in London. The photograph, one of a set taken for G & A Brown, shows them at the time of their completion. The buildings were subsequently acquired by Greater London Council and have been re-named Geffery's Court.

"God is our strength" is the motto of the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers.

Geffery's is a typo! It should be Geffrye.
