About this work

This watercolour shows a quiet brick building in Great Yarmouth. The title says it’s called Fishermen’s Almshouses. Built in 1702, these homes helped struggling fishermen long ago. Moore made this as part of the Recording Britain project during the war. The News Chronicle liked her East Anglian scenes when they were shown in 1942. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
