Tramways
Bill.
The London Tramways Company gave
notice of their intention to apply for powers
to extend their tramway line at Steatham Hill from the
termination of the existing tramway near Telford
Avenue, to a point near Greyhound Lane. The Board
received petitions from a large number of owners and
residents of houses in the locality objecting to the scheme,

withhold their consent to the proposed tramways. The
scheme was consequently abandoned.
