Description: | The toll gate at Hyde Park was the main entrance to London from the west in the 18th century and proposals for improving the area were put forward in the late 18th century. This design for a classical triumphal arch and gateway at Hyde Park Corner was put forward by Robert Adams in 1788. The drawing is accompanied by a manuscript estimate of the expenses of the structure, dated 4 November 1778, amounting to £3,050. The triumphal arch was never built. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Plans Cartography And Topography Architectural Drawings Architecture Elevations | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Adams, Robert | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
