Notes

This drawing, SM volume 76/62, SM volume 76/63 and SM volume 76/60 provide a record of the stage of building construction reached from 5-6 May 1815.

This drawing, evidently made some days after the previous drawings, shows the yellow stock brick addition encasing the whole visible part of the old house, on basement, ground and chamber floors. The upper floor of the old house with its railed roof is the only recognisable feature of the old building left, which was eventually to be altered as well (see SM volume 79/2).
