Notes
The building shown on the verso of drawing 106 is unidentified. It has nine bays with the centre three projecting. The interior is divided in two so that there is no direct access from the two dressing rooms on the left to the other rooms on the right. The inscription 'washouse, fold room and drying room', together with the internal layout and very thick internal walls, suggest that this is a former service building that has been converted into one or two houses.
