EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of the Royal Caledonian Orphan Asylum in Bushey, Hertfordshire, as it stood around the turn of the twentieth century. Designed by renowned architect William Emerson, the buildings were completed in 1897 and provided a home and education for orphaned children from Scotland. The asylum was established in 1855, with the support of Queen Victoria, and aimed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for those in need. Emerson's design is a testament to the architectural prowess of the time, with its impressive red-brick facade, intricate stone detailing, and grand arched windows. The buildings were designed to accommodate a school, chapel, infirmary, and residential quarters for the children and staff. The asylum's beautiful grounds, which can be seen in the background of the photograph, featured extensive gardens and playing fields. Today, the Royal Caledonian Orphan Asylum at Bushey is no longer an orphanage but is home to the Purcell School for Young Musicians. Founded in 1953, the Purcell School is one of the world's leading schools for gifted young musicians, providing an exceptional education and training in music. The historic buildings continue to inspire and nurture young talent, just as they did over a century ago for the orphaned children who once called them home. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the enduring beauty and significance of this remarkable institution.
