Légende

Prince Albert Laying the Foundation-stone of the New Wing of the Licenced Victuallers' Asylum, 1858. '...the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the above addition to the well-known building situate in the Old Kent-road...[the Licenced Victuallers' Asylum was] not only the parent of all trade asylums, but the largest of its kind in this country...The architect, Mr. C. B. Arding, exhibited and explained to his Royal Highness the plans of the proposed buildings, and an elaborate sketch of the "Albert Wing," as it will appear when erected. The stone having been lowered and tried, his Royal Highness perfected the ceremony, and declared it fixed. The Rev. W. G. Martin, M.A., the chaplain to the institution, offered up an appropriate prayer; and the National Anthem, sung by the children of the school, concluded the ceremony'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
