Description

The earliest obtainable engraved view of Rochester, taken from the west, from a position above Stroud, looking over Rochester, with Sheerness and Brampton in the distance.

The image includes three views at each side; on the left: Mr Watt's Hospital for Poor Travellers; Rochester Bridge and Castle; & The West Front of the Cathedral. On the right: The Mathematick Free School Built & Endow'd by the late Sr Ioseph Williamson Bart.; The Court Hall; The Market House built by ye late Sr Cloudy Shovel. The map appeared in a few editions of Harris's History of Kent, but is quite rare on the market.
