Notes

This drawing shows the north front, facing Paradise Row. The low buildings on either side visually tie the yellow stock brick Infirmary to the older red brick Wren structures. Those on the right of the drawing seem to be the Surgeon's house and Whitster's residence. Again there is a colonnade for exercise in bad weather but the design differs from SM volume 77/53, which is much plainer.
