This seems a far cry from its origins:
'With respect to individual institutions we understand that an extension of the Albert Asylum is contemplated, and we are glad to record the fact that Sir Thomas Storey has generously offered to build on the Asylum estate a home for 40 of the more intelligent girls who have completed their period of training in the institution, or are entering upon their last year of residence prior to to their discharge. It is suggested that the services of these girls shall be utilised, not only in doing the work of the home itself, but also in assisting in the nursing and domestic service of the Asylum.'
(Report of the Commissioners in Lunacy quoted in the Chairman of the Central Committee, John T. Hibbert's Report, September 1898)
