EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glance into the Past: The Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum, Wandsworth Common, London (1907) 2.. Step back in time with this image of the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum, situated on Wandsworth Common in London. This Edwardian masterpiece, now a part of south west London's rich history, was originally built as a patriotic asylum and workhouse in the late 19th century. The asylum, designed in the neo-Gothic style, boasts an impressive architectural design with its large, imposing towers and turrets. The west facade, as depicted in this photograph taken in 1907, showcases the grandeur and intricacy of the building's exterior. The central tower, with its ornate detailing and clock face, dominates the scene, adding to the structure's historical charm. The Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum was established in 1867 to provide care for the elderly, infirm, and destitute. Its name was derived from Queen Victoria, who laid the foundation stone in 1868. The asylum was designed to be self-sufficient, with its own farm, bakery, and laundry, ensuring the residents were provided for in every aspect. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual connection to the history of Wandsworth Common and the remarkable architectural legacy left behind by the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the past and the importance of preserving historical structures for future generations.
