1939
After Lady Edith Robinson, wife of the Streatham Conservative Association, passed away in 1939, £1,000 was raised to honour her memory. This funded the construction of two additional almshouses at the Polworth Road site.

2015
By 2015, the original 10 homes from the 1930s were outdated and no longer suited to modern living. The Thrale Almshouse & Relief in Need charity launched a £3m redevelopment, creating 17 modernised and new homes around an enclosed garden, tailored for women over 60 with strong ties to Streatham’s ancient parish.The side wings, housing eight of the original almshouses, were retained, upgraded, and extended. The central block was demolished and replaced with a new building containing three almshouses, while a new block of six almshouses was added to the previously open fourth side, completing the courtyard.
