Taken by the talented architect and architectural historian Margaret Tomlinson, this silver gelatin glass plate negative showcases the resilience of this elegant Regency-style building amidst destruction.

As an architect based in Devon, Tomlinson had firsthand access to record threatened buildings like No 1 Dixas Field in both Exeter and Plymouth. Her photographs not only served as documentation but also contributed to her role as an investigator for the NBR after joining them in 1943. Beyond her wartime contributions, Margaret Tomlinson played a significant role in post-war efforts.
