Addition to Earlswood Asylum for Idiots.
The Prince of Wales has laid the foundation stone of an addition to this asylum.
The additions proposed comprise an extension of the dining-hall to nearly double
its present length, with enlarged space for playing and recreation, new kitchen,
scullery, bakehouse, wardrobes, workrooms, lavatories, baths etc. The estimated cost of these is £12,000 but it is also intended to erect a detached infirmary
whenever the Board shall find that they have sufficient funds in hand to justify
the necessary outlay.
