Original hand-drawn and coloured architectural drawings for proposed buildings in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The architect is William Martin Ashmore, a highly regarded award winning architect from Chesterfield who was active in the late 19th- early 20th century.

As well as being a very talented architect, the recent release of personal documents belonging to the Ashmore family has revealed he was a close friend of Edward Carpenter, socialist, poet and early gay rights activist.

We have a number of his original architectural drawings available, all of which are designs for buildings in Chesterfield.

This particular set of drawings is a plan for two houses at Newbold Moor for a John Shentail Esq.

The drawings are on coated linen.
