Why this record matters

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5722202. Authority coordinates are 37.257, 49.634. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
