Cathedral Precincts from the west (1834 and 1870)
by H.H. Lines

H.H. Lines produced a series of drawings and watercolours of buildings around the Cathedral before their demolition in the 19th century. This view shows the Cathedral precincts from across the River Severn looking east. The main left-hand part of the drawing was produced in 1834, but Lines added the portion to the right to show houses which had been demolished by 1870. The large house to the left of the Cathedral still stands as 10 College Yard. The pinnacles at the west end of the Cathedral have been removed, but the west window of 1789 is shown, prior to its replacement in 1864-5.
