Notes

The finished elevation corresponds with the earlier drawing [64]. The additiional details of flint pilasters etc, brick banding and arches, stone plinth and slate roof gives a realistic impression of this, presumably, final design. The longitudinal section shows a single storey projection that is not shown on the plan ([66]) though a detail of the 'shed' appears on drawing [63] and drawing [65] shows it, more or less entire, as an underdrawing.
