Notes

The building on the recto of drawing [54] is unidentified. The large, arched openings suggest that it might be a coach house, although this would not explain the presence of the chimneypiece. On the verso is a design for another building - possibly a cottage, although the references in pencil to a 'Copper door' and 'Mash tub' hint that it might in fact be a brew house or distillery.
