First draft for Letchworth - 1903

My apologies for the inadequacy of this scan, though the original is not radically better. This is from C. B. Purdom's The Letchworth Achievement (1963) between pages 24-25. Purdom says 'Sketch plans (for Letchworth, the first 'Garden City') were made by two other groups of architects (before Parker and Unwin's plan), one by W. R. Lethaby and Halsey Ricardo, which unfortunately has been lost, though their ideas of the town centre and the residential areas survive in a lay-out, which is reproduced here.' (p. 16). The plan contains just over 60 internal reserves. It would be difficult to say how many Letchworth as finally built contained, probably around ten.
