Socialism safer under independent charities than the state.

Almshouses unsold and kept for the good of society and those in need since 990AD.

Today’s Flickr photo with the most hits: the Penny Alms Houses, Lancaster, UK.

William Penny (1646–1716) was a mayor and alderman whose bequest provided the funds to build and endow 12 small houses and a chapel for ‘poor indigent ancient men and women’. Up to two widows were accommodated if enough men could not be found. They received the house, an allowance, a suit of clothes and the services of a chaplain.
