Lancaster, c. 1770: detail

Engraved for The Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure vol. 61 (1777). Based on Samuel and Nathaniel Buck’s Prospect (1732),
so somewhat out of date.

N.b. the tower of the Priory Church before the rebuilding (starting 1753, so completed by the time this was printed) — see detail, and the old bridge across the Lune, demolished in 1802 — see detail.

See the entire image.
