Between Silver Street and Cow Lane the kerb and footway have been relaid and the
roadway leformed, the woik executed being shown in the tabulated statoment below.
Opposite South Wharf a new kerb has been laid for a length of 211 ft., and the
footway formed in cement laid in situ; this piece was laid as an experiment, and after
completion, was inspected by the Vestry. This class of paving is much cheaper than York
stone or Victoiia flags, and the Vestry has agreed to extend its use as necessity arises.
Galleywall Road.—Following the work executed last year the footway has been relaid
from Lynton Road to Southwark Park Road, the kerb relaid on concrete, and a new throecourse
granite channel provided for the roadway. The whole of the macadam roadway has
been reformed, coated with broken granite, and rolled in by the steam roller ; the area of the
roadway amounts to 4122 square yards, 558 tons 7 cwt. of broken granite was used, and
42 loads of granite spawls.
Lower Road.—Sundry repairs have been executed to the kerbs and footways along the
main road, but the condition of portions of the roadway on both sides having become such
that it was impossible to satisfactorily patch them, the whole area, from Hothfield Place to
the boundary on the east side, and from Cope Street to Deptford Road Station on the west
side, between the kerb and tram rails has been relaid, the setts redressed, and new
supplied to make up for the waste. The total area repaved is 4092 square yards, the cost
£1150 16s., of which sum £288 14s. lOd. was repaid by the Tramway Company for the
work within 3 ft. of the tram rails, which they have to maintain. The averago cost of
this work, including taking up, cleaning and redressing setts, providing new setts where
necessary, concrete, repaving, grouting, ramming and covering of, amounts to 5s. < Id. per
