William Mackenzie was a man of many interests and passions, as evidenced by the collection of maps and historical artifacts he left behind. Among his prized possessions was an old map of Nottingham from 1893, taken from the Comprehensive Gazetteer Atlas of England and Wales. This intricate map provided a glimpse into the past, showcasing the layout and streets of this historic city. In addition to his fascination with local history, Mackenzie also had a keen interest in international affairs. He possessed a map of Prussia dating back to around 1872, its creator unknown. This detailed depiction offered insight into the political landscape of that time. Mackenzie's collection extended beyond maps alone; it included engravings such as Oppenheim from c1872 by E I Roberts. The artist beautifully captured this German town's essence through their skilled craftsmanship. One particular item that caught Mackenzie's attention was the ground plan of Rievaulx Abbey from 1897. This architectural blueprint showcased every nook and cranny of this medieval abbey, allowing him to immerse himself in its rich history. Another artwork within his possession was Alexander Francis Lydon's painting titled "From the North-West, Kirkstall Abbey" dating back to c1880 (1897). It depicted this ancient ruin nestled amidst serene surroundings—a testament to Mackenzie's appreciation for both art and heritage. Among his treasured portraits were those depicting notable figures like The Right Honourable Edward Geoffrey Stanley, Earl of Derby circa 1860 (c1884), exuding regality with every stroke. Another portrait featured Henry St. John, Viscount Bolingbroke circa 1710 (c1884), capturing an influential statesman during an era long gone but not forgotten. Mackenzie's love for cartography extended beyond individual cities; he owned comprehensive gazetteer atlases encompassing Birmingham and Sheffield from 1893—maps that revealed the growth and development of these industrial powerhouses.
