Description:
This manuscript map drawn in 1740 is titled 'A draught of the Mercat place of Irvine with the confines of the street at that place on both sides'. The tolbooth and tron and the lines of properties are drawn. The property of one William Thomson is drawn in detail. It had two narrow shops opening onto the street with a back room behind and his dwelling above. A passage gave access to the rest of the tenement behind the house. The legal reason for the plan appears to be a dispute concerning the forestair giving access to the upper dwelling. The stair is shown projecting a yard forwards from the shop frontage, blocking part of the street.
