"Map of Drainings at Allestree" being plans of field drainage in Allestree and Holbrook Series of plans showing drainage in fields in Allestree.

Scale: various Some plans later in the volume give the date of drainage, the earliest being 1855 and the latest 1859. Still later, other plans have additional annotations, for example, relating to gas pipes or later drainage 1860-1861.
