NOTES: The cafe was deliberately made as light and transparent as possible so as not to obstruct too largely the outstanding view from the moat road down towards the castle grounds.

NOTES: The Knightsbridge store was opened in the 1880s. The store was part of the Debenhams group from 1919 to 1985.

NOTES: This plan forms the centrefold (pages 26 and 27) of a Festival of Britain guide booklet. The Festival Pleasure Gardens were designed as a recreation and entertainment space for the 1951 Festival of Britain, with much of the planting designed by James Gardner. The site featured a new water garden and fountains with popular attractions including a 'Tree-Walk', the Guinness Festival Clock and a pleasure railway known as the Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Branch Railway.

NOTES: The Australian artist Norman Lindsay travelled in Europe between 1909 and 1911 and this drawing may date from this visit.

NOTES: The original Villa was designed by Langdon Wilson Architects for the oil-magnate J. Paul Getty to house his private art collection adjacent to his home. This his second museum, a re-creation of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum, opened as an art museum in 1974. The Villa was closed between 1997-2006 for restoration undertaken by Machado & Silvetti Associates with landscape architects Dennis L Kurutz Associates.
