Notes
The area shown sits between two corridors (running from east to west) linking the Public Corridor and Westminster Hall to the existing parts of the Stone Building. The plan demonstrates the careful provisions made for drainage, the pitch of separate roofs and the positions of rainwater heads. The rear of the Stone Building is indicated in grey. As built, there was a short connecting link built from the centre of the Court of Chancery's west wall to the south-eastern corner of the central block of the Stone Building.
