Description

The main map of the freehold estate, with frontage and depth measurements, is adjacent to the part of the Hutt River marked as the only place fordable in case of accident to the bridge which leads to Plowman Street. The site of the Hutt Bridge is marked downstream. A minor change to the riverbank as at Aug. 1860, has been added at a later date. A road, pencilled in and also added at a later date, is marked 'Road as on ground.' Betweeen Plowman Street and the site of the Mechanics Institute are three sections, labelled allotments. The first includes the site of a well, while the third has a site of a house in which the store room, kitchen, parlour and bedroom are named. All three allotments are marked as sold. Paddocks are marked with measurements in roods and perches, one including a slaughter house and stockyard. A lake is marked in the vicinity of the street provisionally planned for the bridge approach.

An area of land is labelled 'Street as originally laid out, but the situation of the bridge will render it useless as a street.' This has been divided into lots. Lot A is annotated 'To be given to Mr Ploughman' [sic]. Lot B 'Reserve for a lockup'.' Lot C 'Given to Capt. Daniell to compensate for road taken out of his ground'. Includes an annotation 'W. Fox, Ch. L. Court'.

The leasehold estate, with frontage measurements, includes the site of houses with a dairy, kitchen, parlour and bedrooms marked. A second site includes the parlour, shop and verandah. Originally one lot, this was divided into two at a later date.
