Road between Lower North Street and the premises of Messrs. Geary had
been opened on complaint of its defective condition, and it was found that
the portion west of Nos. 112 and 114 had been cut off and was unused, and
that the remainder of the sewer was in use for the drainage of the two
houses mentioned only. The barrel being of 18in. diameter, of old
construction, with an inefficient gradient and small flow, had led to
nuisance, and the Works Committee approved the connection, by the
Borough Surveyor, of the drainage of 112 and 114, East India Dock
Road to the Council's sewer in the centre of the roadway, and the
demolition of the old brick barrel.
The Borough Surveyor presented to the Works Committee a plan
and estimate for the reconstruction of the sewer in St. Leonard's Street
from Talwin Street (late Love Lane) to Priory Street. The Surveyor
reported that the sewer in question was one handed over to the late
Board of Works for the Poplar District on the constitution of that
Authority in 1855.
The old sewer in Brunswick Road between Findhorn Street and East
India Dock Road was reported by the Borough Surveyor to be in a bad
condition. The sewer, the Surveyor reported, consisted of one ring of
brick barrel.
