View Full Version : Ruskin House - Inscription over the doorway? HughW 06-07-2005, 23:19 Does anyone happen to know the text of the inscription over the doorway of Ruskin House (Bole Hill Road), dating from the time when it was the 'Bad Girls' Home' ? Something uplifting and charitable I think, but I can't remember. Hugh HughW 18-07-2005, 10:35 To answer my own question, the inscription says: GIRLS' TRAINING HOME RUSKIN HOUSE That our daughters may be as corner stones polished after the similitude of a palace difficult to read the biblical reference that follows but it must be 'Psalm 144:12' Hugh in Walkley Titian 18-07-2005, 11:06 What is this house now? HughW 18-07-2005, 15:59 I think it's private flats, but I am not sure. Hugh jamesfire 17-10-2007, 14:16 It is indeed private flats...I live there! |
