In order to reduce a large stock of old paving stones
removed from Piccadilly and elsewhere, and stored at the
Belgrave Wharf, the Vestry decided to carry out certain
additional works of paving (not included in the ordinary
annual estimate). The entrance to Victoria Station from
Buckingham Palace Road, part of Wilton Road, and
Turpentine Lane, have therefore been paved with these
pitching stones; several additional Crossings have also been
aid down throughout the Parish.
