Notes
The title, which appears in a different hand to the labelling, resembles the hand of George Bailey, and was added later. The site plan shows the building to have been located on the corner of Place Street (referred to in all other plans and writings as Temple Street) and Castle Baily Street.
Messrs Freshfield were the Bank of England's solicitors.
The drawing must have been made outside of the Soane office, as drawings done on tracing paper have not yet been found within the Soane collection with the exception of some drawings in volume 42 (q.v.).
