Notes
The plan shows existing building by hatching so that East Parade, South Parade, Park Row and Hall Gate (with the Infirmary and Cloth Hall) already exist. There are more than 30 vacant lots. Of the premises shown on this plan, the Bank of England made surveys of Mr Makin's premises in Park Row and New Bond Street (drawings 21-13) and Mr Goodman's premises in Park Row (drawings 27-29). The three other sites in Albion Street and Commercial Street for which survey drawings were also made are not marked on this plan.
