Notes
This appears to be a preparatory sketch for SM 37/1/6. The corresponding, opposite side of the stairwell is shown in SM Vol 49/14. There is a detail plan of what appears to be a landing or recess, whose position is not indicated on the section. Ths staircases were surveyed again in June 1830 (see SM 51/3/48).
