11th November 2002	Mike McCabe No, but this can be reasonably estimated from two sources: - Chard's general pictorial sketch of the RD buildings in his February 1880 report. A very approximate indication could then be 'scaled' off contemporary photographs of the surviving store - Probably more usefully, by comparison with the reconstructed Witt house of the 1880s (now the Museum) which has many similarities with the original building
