This is a plan of Thomas Seckford's estate in
Clerkenwell. A note at bottom left states that the estate is to be
leased in 6 parts for 60 years each. It seems that there was
intention to colour the plan as the key refers to colours. ''New
Prison'' is marked just left of the cartouche. Clerkenwell
Bridewell was built in 1616 as an overflow for Bridewell and was
hence known as ''New Prison''. An additional ''New Prison'' was
built adjacent to it later in the century to relieve pressure on
Newgate.
