THE FIVE PRINCIPAL INSTITUTIONS FOUNDED BY THE LATE DR. ANDREW REED, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Asylum for Fatherless Children at Reedham, the Infant Orphan Asylum at Wanstead, the Idiot Asylum at Earlswood, the London Orphan Asylum at Clapton, and the Royal Hospital for Incurables at Putney. 'Throughout the whole course of Dr. Reed's connection with these institutions he never received one shilling from them, but was always a large, and often a secret, contributor to their funds. This self- denying devotion is still further illustrated by the following bequests: £100 to the Wanstead Asylum, the interest to be applied for ever in the purchase of playthings for the children, to be given them at Christmas. £300 to the London Orphan Asylum, the interest to be applied for ever to provide the children with suitable lectures on the natural sciences, to be delivered, with illustrations, each winter. £1000 to the Reedham Asylum for Fatherless Children. £1000 to the Asylum for Idiots. Finally, these institutions, thus endowed, their noble founder bequeaths to his country, "with an earnest prayer that they may be watched over with wisdom and benevolence; that they may be preserved in efficient operation; and that they may remain, age after age, memorials of, that Divine charity which exalteth and glorifieth a people'.

The Fishmongers and Poulterers' Institution at Wood Green, near Hornsey, [London], 1862. '...the institution [on Green Lanes] was originated by a few working men or journeymen in the fish and poultry trades; who, sensible that, from the nature of their occupation, involving constant exposure to wet and cold, they, and indeed the majority of their employers, are liable in a peculiar degree to the most virulent forms of disease, and often premature death, conceived the idea of forming an association for the purpose of providing casual and, as their first modest address to their fellows expressed it, if possible, permanent relief and residence for their aged and destitute brethren...A site was purchased in a delightful situation...both healthful and picturesque, and a noble building, in the Elizabethan style of architecture, consisting of twelve houses, erected...In 1849 the asylum was opened by the admittance of eight inmates...but, notwithstanding the constant endeavours of the committee, though there are many deserving applicants, they have been unable, from the want of adequate funds, to fill more than ten of the twelve houses, so that two of them have been unoccupied for twelve years'.
