The National Archives holds a large number of architectural drawings particularly of public buildings and monuments. There are examples of almost every kind of building and structure erected during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These range from official buildings such as the Houses of Parliament to railway stations, coastguard cottages and Crown Estate in central London. There are also drawings of structures such as bridges, piers, statues and railway signal boxes. For more information see our Architectural Drawings in The National Archives research guide and the House history resource on the website.
