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 Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6943912. Authority coordinates are 40.426, 116.556. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
