Description: | Taken from Bridge Street, this shows the entrance to St John's Hospital South almshouses under the bay window of the tower. Over the other side of the road in the Broadway are other buildings belonging to the hospital, to distinguish between them, the buildings on this side of the road are known as St John's Hospital South.
These buildings were erected in the nineteenth century but the foundation of the hospital dates back to 1289 when a foundation was set up by John Le Devenish " for only relief of sick and lame soldiers, poor pilgrims and necessitated way-faring men, to have their dyett and lodging their fit and convenient, for one night or longer as their abilities to trayvayl give leave, without any expense or payment therefore
