Notes
This drawing corresponds more or less to [SM D4/8/1] though it shows a greater area including a block plan of the hospital with James Gibbs's south east and west buildings. Most of the leaseholders' names (except for Smith and Smallpiece whose leases were due to expire in 1803 and 1816) differ from those shown for the same plots in [SM D4/8/1]. The plan does not include Dance's Surgeons Theatre of 1791 and a roughly triangular area to the southeast is blocked in and washed as though to represent existing structures that include the building inscribed above. In [SM D4/8/4], Dance's proposed laboratory, drug room and others are on this site.
