The extent of the estate shown is bounded by irrigation land and the River Don to the north north east, Worrall Lane to the west south west, land belonging to Elijah Eaton and Mr. Newton to the north, and land belonging to Messrs. Brooke and Sons, the Trustees of George Miller, and Mr. Fowler to the south.

Whilst the date of the plan is unclear, the layout of the buildings shown correspond to a period covering approximately 1889-1901. The name West Riding Asylum was used between 1889 and 1929, and it is known that a second dining hall for women, adjacent to the female detached block, was built in 1901. This hall is not shown on the plan.
