SEWER—GREAT CHURCH LANE.
This sewer where it passes under the District
Railway has been reconstructed by the Company, this
being necessitated by the widening of the line, and
further, from the fact that the old sewer had burst on one
occasion. Apparently, at the time when the line was
made, there was a probability of the sewer being extended
northwards, and the sewer was therefore built in duplicate
under the line, but as no such extension seemed probable
and the sewer only received the drainage from one 12-in.
pipe on the north side of the line, it was considered that
one cast-iron pipe, 27 inches in diameter, would prove
amply sufficient for the future.
