Notes
A comparison of this drawing with SM 30/1B/19 and SM/30/1B/18 shows some changes to the two-storey part of the mezzanine though the basement rooms are still only eight feet high and the bakehouse is now combined with the scullery. On the floor above, an 'Enclosed Gallery' provides additional circulation.
