187 sheets of maps, measured drawings, surveys and design drawings relating to the maintenance and presentation of Hylton Castle, created between 1900 and 2009.
Earlier drawings in the series relate to the recording and general maintenance of the site. There are a number of copies of drawings of the castle, the originals created in 1869 by the architect John Cotton, as part of his RIBA Pugin Studentship, recording the castle as it was just before extensive alterations. There are a number of sheets from the 1970s, created by the Department of the Environment: a set of measured drawings and sketched surveys of the castle dating to the mid-1970s, a group of drawings prepared ahead of reproduction in a site guidebook for the castle dates to the mid-1970s also, and there is a topographic survey of the castle and grounds, created in 1978.
There is a very large series of ninety-two drawings concerning the design and construction of a new sales office at the site, created between January 1978 and October 1981. The contract was originally carried out by Brian Robson and Partners, Chartered Architects, but by the end of the contract the sheet are signed solely by Brian Robson himself.
There are six Oversized Sheets associated with this site.
