By the East London Railway Bill power was asked to
abandon the up-junction with and all lines north of the
Great Eastern Railway, which were sanctioned by the
Act of 1865, also to authorize an alteration in the levels
sanctioned by such Act, between the point where the
Railway is authorized to be constructed under the main
line of the Great Eastern Railway, and the point where
the intended Railway will join the portion already constructed
a! Wapping.
The object of this alteration is to run on to the Great
Eastern Railway, at Mape Street, instead of running
under that Railway, as proposed by the Act of 1865.
The proposed Railway enters our parish at a depth of
50 ft. and leaves it at 37 ft. 6 in. below the ground.
The houses scheduled under the previous Act are
again scheduled, and embrace 122 different properties.
Tramways.
By three different bills powers were sought to lay
tramways affecting this District: —
The North-Eastern Metropolitan Tramways Bill;
The Commercial Road East Tramways Bill; and
The North Metropolitan Tramways Bill.
The two first bills were thrown out by the Committee
of the House of Commons, and the North Metropolitan
Tramways Bill is still pending in Parliament.
There are four lines of tramways proposed in this lastmentioned
Bill, which will affect this Hamlet, viz., the
Commercial Road line, the Cambridge-heath Road line,
the Burdett Road line, and the Grove Road line.
