Most drawings are identified. Only one drawing is signed: "J. Haddow". The front flyleaf gives mileage between towns and villages beginning with Rotherham and continuing through Derbyshire and what is now Greater Manchester and finally to Ulverston (Lanscashire), perhaps a clue to the start and end of the trip; below this list is a sketch of a tree (orientation, reversed). The drawings, many over the two-page openings, include; three sketches of the ruins of Fountains Abbey, North Yorkshire; one sketch of parkland from Goldsborough Hall, North Yorkshire, followed by thirteen blank leaves; four sketches of Osberton Hall, Notinghamshire; three sketches of Tickhill Castle, South Yorkshire; twelve sketches of Sandbeck Park, South Yorkshire that include the ruins of Roche Abbey; and finally, a small sketch of the gate at Sandbeck Park on the back flyleaf (verso).
