Error in dates

edit

The date of the engraving of the house is given as c1820. The text gives the build dates as 1849 to 1851. They can’t both be correct. 93.190.113.139 (talk) 08:52, 19 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

The picture could be an architectural plan, made before the house was built. However, the Commons page attributes the engraving to J. Newman & Co. (fl. 1838–1880). The British Museum gives Newman's dates as 1843-1871 (active), specifying the address in the image.[1] I will remove the 1820 date as dubious. Verbcatcher (talk) 21:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
