Stonehouse reconstruction scheme [existing and proposed layouts; two sheets]
Stonehouse, the historic district between Plymouth and Devonport, is shown before and after the planners' intervention on this pair of plans from A Plan for Plymouth. The first, printed in black with red titling, records the crowded existing streets around Stonehouse Lake and Union Street; the second, in soft colour, replaces them with curving terraces, flats, schools, industry and open space, complete with a social-units inset and tables of proposed dwellings. Only part of the scheme was carried out: Stonehouse kept its mix of homes and industry, and the Palace Theatre survived. The pair therefore makes a revealing comparison with the district today. Two separate sheets, originally a single page, each about 30 × 24 cm.
