NOTES: The Mary Ward Settlement (originally known as the Passmore Edwards Settlement Buildings) was founded in the 1890s by Mary Augusta Ward under the financial patronage of John Passmore Edwards. It aimed to provide facilities to 'improve the the religious, moral, intellectual or physical well-being of the people of London' and was also notable for housing the first fully equipped classrooms for children with disabilities. The library was dedicated to Thomas Hill Green (1836-1882), philosopher, whose writings influenced Mary Ward. See RIBA134784 for the negative of this image.

NOTES: Prince Albert designed and supervised the construction of the dairy while the sculptor John Thomas was responsible for the design of the elaborate interiors and stonework.

NOTES: This mill was built adjacent to Marshall's Mill for John Marshall (1765-1845), a prominent Leeds industrialist and politican. It became known as Temple Works thanks to its design which was based on the Temple of Horus at Edfu in Egypt. The mill was closed down in October 1886 and it was used thereafter as a weaving shed, a clothing factory and then a warehouse.

NOTES: The City Hall was designed by Diego de Riano who supervised its construction until his death in 1534. He was succeeded by Juan Sanchez and Hernan Ruiz II (also known as Hernan Ruiz the Younger) who added a loggia overlooking the Plaza de San Francisco after 1560 (subsequently demolished in the 19th century).
