St Nicholas' Almshouses

St Nicholas' Almshouses is a historic building on King Street in Bristol, England.
It was built in 1652 to 1656, extended in the 19th century and restored in 1961 by Donald Insall. The foundations of a bastion of the city wall were revealed during restoration. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.
The almshouse was one of the first buildings on King Street, a new development then outside the city wall and beside the "Back Street Gate".
The building was damaged during the Bristol Blitz and now presents only a facade to the street. It no longer serves the homeless as it did in previous centuries. It is now student accommodation.
