| | The Tooting Bec Asylum, Tooting |
 | | Tooting Bec Asylum was the fourth asylum hospital to be erected by the Metropolitan Asylums Board to supplement the existing institutions at Leavesden, Caterham, and Darenth. |
 | | The layout of Tooting Bec was deliberately intended to follow that of the existing institutions at Leavesden and Caterham. |
 | | The entrance is from Tooting Bec Common, but there is a second entrance from Church-lane, for bringing in coal and heavy stores and removing refuse, for which purpose a granite tram-road has been laid through the workshop yard to the several coal-stores, and a weighbridge fixed. |
