Ulpha Almshouses

The attractive row of ten almshouses at Ulpha in the Duddon Valley of Cumbria.
The Joseph and Eleanor Gunson Almshouse Trust was founded in 1907 and the ten cottages were built in 1914 to provide housing for those in need and of good character who were born in Ulpha. An inscription on the central cottage reads, "The Joseph and Eleanor Gunson Almshouses. These houses were built and endowed by their only son, John Gunson, as a memorial of his great love for his parents".
