RCHME survey of Winnock's Almshouses on south side of Military Road, 'a long block of tenements of red brick. It was built c.1678 and is a good example of the brickwork of the period. The N front is divided into two bays by pilasters and into storeys by a continuous entablature; the middle bay has a plain pediment and the two middle doorways are combined to form an architectural composition with pilasters surmounted by half-balls and a broken voluted pediment; under the pediment are two sunk panels with the initials and date IWM 1678. The doors to the six tenements are original and have each two large panels, bolection-moulded. The back is plain but the doors to the ground floor mostly have old frames'.<1>

A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust in 2018 on a complex of 20th-century almshouses at 1-7 Winnocks, in advance of their demolition. The brick buildings were constructed in 1934 as additional accommodation for the residents of the adjacent almshouse built by John Winnock in 1678.<3>
