A condition of sale was that the Provost’s stables and other outbuildings, which had to be demolished, should be rebuilt at the Commission’s expense. This series of five drawings, which details the re-building of the stables and other outbuildings and the erection of new gates and railings, was submitted to the Commission by Frederick Darley in July 1841. The drawings were approved but with minor modifications of a decorative nature which reduced costs by £315. The final costs amounted to £6,215-15s-6d. Scale: 10' : 1 Size: 18½" x 26½" - 46½ cms x 66½ cms Paper (1 sheet per drawing, each with watermark ‘J. Whatman, 1840'); ink; watercolours
