Notes
The elevation shows a four (ex-five) bay, three-storey building with attic and basement, the attic above a cornice. Green washes and green pen (an early use?) areas show that the first floor windows were to be enlarged and the roof removed. The section shows a triangular roof truss (shaded) with a shallow pitch, 45..1½ wide and with five hangars. David Yeomans (email, 19 July 2001) commented that there was 'nothing special here that I can see'.
