The British Home for Incurables was established in 1861 and opened in Clapham in 1863. It moved to purpose-built premises in Streatham in 1894. It was set up 'for the relief of incurable cases of disease, accident or deformity'. It received its Royal Charter in 1899. As well as giving care to residents, there were out-patients who received a (financial) allowance, to assist with their circumstances. More information here.
