Grierson, Charles MacIver, 1864-1939A view of the East Cloister of the Abbey, looking North towards the Dark Cloister; two men in clerical robes are talking in the middle ground; a couple in the background walk arm-in-arm towards the entrance to the Dark Cloister, tools and an apron are lying on the right of the foreground.
Distant view of the Abbey from Tothill Street; in the background right centre can be seen Hawksmoor's West Towers of the Abbey, in front of them lies the end of Tothill Street; on the north side of the street we see a 17th century shop and an 18th century shop with three bays and a four storey building of 18th century shops of eight bays; on the south side we can see a butcher's shop and a three bayed 18th century building with dormer windows; there are numerous frequenting chambermaids looking out of the top windows; shoppers and travellers stand in the street while a cart makes deliveries to the butcher.
Millar, James, c.1715-1792The Burlington Dormitory from the North; beds line the walls; monitors sit around the fire in the right foreground, stoked by a younger boy; in the distance other scholars are talking and playing games
