The Soane office Day Book for 8 November 1806 has George Bailey in his first year of pupilage as working on 'plan and elevation of Ealing' but it is unlikely that at this early stage in his career he could have produced a finished plan with its neatly printed title and labels; it was more likely drawn by Francis Edwards (1784-1857, improver July 1806-October 1810) for whom there is an entry in the Day Book for 7 November 1806.
