The Board has had under consideration for many years the
great necessity for improving the entrance to High Street, Fulham
at the junction with the London Road, and has now purchased
the freeholder's and leaseholder's interests in Nos. 2,
4, 6, 8, 10 and 10a, High Street; these properties will be shortly
pulled down, and the desired improvement carried out.
Cattle Trough, Queen Street.
By the kindness of an anonymous donor through the Metropolitan
Cattle Trough and Drinking Fountain Association, a
granite trough has been erected in Queen Street, opposite the
Police Station, there being previously no public trough between
Hyde Park Gate and Kew Bridge. The trough will remain during
the pleasure of the Board, and has already proved a great boon
to the daily increasing number of persons driving through the
town.
