Notes
In November 1816 Soane reported that some of the outbuildings, 'originally formed in a temporary manner', needed rebuilding 'in a more corrected plan'. The addition of new offices in place of the 'Cinders' is hinted at by pencilled alterations on drawing [1]. The other new offices (between the Carpenter's Shop and the Smith's Shop) are new to this design. Soane's alterations were not executed. (King's Works, VI, p. 262).
