I prepared plans and specification for a Committee Room,
&c., in the Stone Yard, Forest Hill, and made drawings for
two Urinals to be erected in Forest Hill, but they were not built.
We have now a good Stone Yard at Forest Hill, but it is quite
open at present. It should be enclosed. The re-construction of
Hocum Pocum Bridge was commenced during the year; I made
the necessary drawings, and obtained the sanction of the Plumstead
Board, and am now carrying them out.
Drawings were prepared for the road improvement near the
Railway Bridges, Dulwich Road, Penge. The work has been
carried out. Drawings were also made for improving the Park
Road approach to the New Road near Forest Hill Station.
NEW STREETS.
The work of Paving and forming the following new Streets,
under the 105th Section of the Metropolis Local Management
Act, was completed.
