line of the Tramway Company's work to the line of the
houses in the road.
This has necessitated the taking up and re-laying of
3148 yards of stone already laid.
The following are Streets at which these works have
been performed:
Sidney Street Globe Road
Cambridge Heath Road Bancroft Road
Jubilee Street Bancroft Road
Cleveland Street
St. Peter's Road Grove Street
Another important work has been accomplished
during the year—
The White Horse Lane Improvement.
For some years past this work has been projected,
and some portion of the property actually purchased by
the Vestry; but, owing to the difficulty in arranging
with some of the owners, it was not until the commencement
of April last that the work of removing
the houses, and constructing a roadway in their place,
could be commenced.
The work was performed by your own workmen,
under my direction, and the cost was £407 13s 6d.
The tramstones removed from the narrow portion of
White Horse Lane, have been laid in Bancroft Place,
and are of immense advantage to the traffic of that
narrow thoroughfare.
Crossings have been laid to facilitate and improve
foot traffic at Garden Street, Stepney Green, Copley
Street, Diggon Street, Oley Place, Tredegar Square,
Bow Common Lane, Regent's Road, Raven Street,
