Flooding of Houses from Overflow of the King's
Scholars' Pond Sewer.
The basements of several houses in Tachbrook Street
and the neighbourhood thereof having been flooded in the
early morning of the 2nd January, 1879, the Vestry again
called the attention of the Metropolitan Board of Works to
this overflow, and to the injury to health likely to arise
from the frequent overflows from this sewer. The Vestry
have continued to urge on the Metropolitan Board of Works
the necessity of some steps being taken to stop a repetition
of the serious annoyance and nuisance to many of the ratepayers
arising from these overflows, and the matter is now
engaging the attention of the Board.
