Trinity Almshouses, Deptford Church Street, Deptford, c.1840

Trinity Almshouses, Deptford Church Street, Deptford, c.1840

Together with the dockyard and the victualling yard, Trinity Houses demonstrated Deptford's fundamental association with the River Thames and seafaring.

  

The Guild of Trinity House was established in the 16th century and took on the role of licensing Thames pilots, keeping the river clea, and, later, establishing and maintaining lighthouses and other aids to offshore navigation around the country.

The guild's hall was near St Nicholas' Church.

The almshouses were established in 1670 to provide housing to the members. They were demolished in 1877.
