EDITORS COMMENTS
"The Albert Wing of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, Old Kent-Road, London, 1858, is depicted in this photograph. The existing structures house 126 inmates, with the new Albert Wing adding an additional 31 residences upon completion. The institution comprises a chapel, chaplain's house, board-room, and various other necessary facilities. The main building forms a quadrangle, with a central chapel entered through a grand stone portico. Each inmate is granted a comfortable living room, complete with a bedroom above and a kitchen, paved yard, and other essential conveniences at the rear. A constant water supply is ensured for each house through a large iron tank, filled daily from the water company's main. The Licensed Victuallers' Asylum was established in 1826 by the late Mr. J.P. Hodgson, a distiller from Finsbury. Over the past three decades, nearly £100,000 has been invested in its construction and maintenance. The new buildings, skillfully erected by Mr. Morten, builder of Stratford, were overseen by Mr. Charles B. Arding, architect. The building on the extreme right in this engraving is the Chaplain's House."
