Marsh Wall Public Footway.
Upon application on behalf of owners of property abutting upon
the Marsh Wall public footway from the "King's Arms" stairs to Union
Road, Millwall, the Council consented to the closing of the Marsh Wall
footway, from "King's Arms" stairs to Union Road, Millwall, subject
to the sanction of the J ustices, and to a proposed new public
way being constructed 20ft. in width, laid with impervious paving, and
lighted to the satisfaction of the Borough Surveyor. The area given up,
winding in obscurity, lent itself to the commission of nuisances.
