Originally the Alf Evans Memorial Home built as a convalescence home for the National Union of Printing, Bookbinders and Paper Workers. Architect: Francis Daly, built in 1958.
Opened in October 1958 by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Denis Truscot, a leading figure in the printing industry. It was named after Alf Evans, an important trade union leader in the Edwardian era who was a strong advocate of women’s trade unionism, actively encouraging the growth of female membership.
A bust to the union leader stood in the gardens facing the sea but has been lost. The union closed the home just 5 years later when it became a care home, Homewarr House being added to its east flank in 1986 (not proposed for local listing).
