Description:
This anonymous 18th century plan shows details of drainage problems in a 'street called Shiprow'. The town is unnamed but it is thought to be Aberdeen and the orientation and slope shown on the plan are accurate for Shiprow, Aberdeen. The road is drawn with slabbed pavements on either side. Properties on the east side are named, with details such as 'Sugar cellar' marked, presumably a warehouse or store as this is near the quay. The purpose of the map seems to have been an attempt to find solutions to an overflow of surface drainage caused by an obstruction at the bend in the road. A pencilled line and annotation mark a 'dam suggested by Mr R(?)obbertson'.
