Trinity Green is the nominal address of the Trinity Green Almshouses.
Trinity Green Almshouses, formerly Trinity Hospital, are Grade I listed buildings on Mile End Road.
The Trinity Green Almshouses were constructed in 1695 by the Corporation of Trinity House. They were intended to house "28 decay’d Masters & Commanders of Ships or ye Widows of such". Captain Henry Mudd of Ratcliffe donated the land for this purpose.
Sir William Ogbourne is thought to have designed the almshouses. The layout consists of two rows of houses flanking a central green and chapel. The chapel falls within the parish of St Dunstan’s, Stepney.
They are likely the second oldest almshouses in the area near central London (after the Charterhouse of 1611). The buildings were damaged during the Second World War and restored by London County Council in the 1950s. They have provided housing for over three centuries.
