Seldon road, Clapton road and Westbury road, near
Cemetery road
Belham street and Mosedale street near, Kimpcon road
Gloucester road (partof), Peckham grove, Rawlins' Estate
These several properties have been permanently
sewered at the cost of the owners, the
Works having been superintended by the Officers
of the Vestry.
It is now my pleasing duty to report that
the whole of the Local Sewers Works contemplated
in the scheme which I prepared for your
consideration (as per Block Plan and Report presented
to the Vestry, on the 9th November,
1864) are complete. And I have further to
report that these Works are in a satisfactory
condition, and performing the drainage of
the Parish efficiently. No floodings have occurred
in any of the localities so sewered, where formerly,
from the imperfection of the drainage of this depressed
area, both the House and Surface
Drainages were in times of heavy rains most
seriously impeded.
