I raised a question about the buildings featured in the image on this tray some years ago, but made no progress on it. Can anyone help please. ?

Can we identify buildings marked A - G please ? Thanks.

Re 'D', I thought this might be Baskerville's house on Easy Hill, but by the time of the balloon flight it had been demolished. It set me wondering if the buildings were representational, rather than exiting at the same time. If it is Baskerville's house, maybe it was included because her was a japannier.

Perhaps the buildings were included to demonstrate progress, as per the balloon flight. Just a thought.
