Description

Fifty-nine sheets dating from between 1919 and 1998. The earliest drawings show site plans and drawings of mosaic pavements, along with drawings showing a hood to protect plaster fragments, a well cover and a survey of the bath house windows.

Several drawings, probably from the 1930s, show plaster profiles and details of windows and the well.

A number of drawings relating to excavations on the site begin in 1947 and occur again in 1954 and the early 1960s. There is a copy of an information sheet from 1962 giving the history of the excavations.

Various plans, including deed plans and a drawing of the existing bridge, are included from the 1950s. 1953 saw the first drawings of a new car park for the site. Later car parking schemes from 1969 and 1978 are also represented.

Miscellaneous plans, sketches and survey drawings are included from the 1960s and 1970s, and there are a number of plans of the access road from 1985, including survey drawings and plans showing requirements for surface repairs.

The most recent sheet included is from 1998 and relates to culvert repairs.
