parish of St. Pancras. It was situated in the Old St. Pancras
Road and consisted of the old burial ground of St. Giles-inthe-Fields
and certain houses in Adam and Eve Terrace.
The interest of the Rector and Churchwardens of the
parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields in the burial ground
was, some years since, conveyed to the Guardians of St.
Pancras, and during the past year the Local Government
Board have, on application by the Vestry of St. Pancras,
under the Divided Parishes Act, transferred this property to
the parish of St. Pancras, and it therefore now ceases to
form part of the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields.
Re-numbering of Streets.
During the past year orders have been made by the London
County Council abolishing the names of Dudley Street,
Bloomsbury Street, and Thorney Street, and re-naming the
thoroughfare Shaftesbury Avenue, and for the re-numbering
of the houses therein. Also abolishing the name of Crown
Street, re-naming the thoroughfare Charing Cross Road and
re-numbering the houses therein. An order was also made
for the re-numbering of the houses in West Street.
In all these cases the necessary orders for carrying out
the alterations have been made by the Board and duly
complied with.
Obstructions and Projections on the Public Way.
This subject has again during the past year engaged the
most serious attention of the Board and its Committees.
The Regulations dealing with the matter have been revised,
and in some cases proceedings have been taken against
offenders. It is to be hoped that the steps which the Board
have decided to take upon the matter will be such as to
remedy the nuisances which have been found to exist.
