Description: | Drawing showing the area to the west of Penshurst in Kent. The lack of hill sketching suggests this is an intermediate version rather than a completed drawing. Woodland is indicated by meticulous renderings of individual trees. Stone walls, indicated in red ink, mark field boundaries. A pest house ("Pest Ho") is noted to the left of Sevenoaks Common. The pest house provided shelter for people afflicted by plague and other infectious diseases at a safe distance from the densely populated town. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Woodland Roads Houses and homes Cartography And Topography Transport Infrastructure Science And Technology Architecture Landscapes Maps Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | unattributed | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
