SEWERS DEPARTMENT.
PARK STREET.
A new 12 inch pipe sewer has been laid in Park Street from
Emerson Street to the Southwark Bridge Road archway, a
length of about 400 feet. An old high level sewer which
formerly existed has been filled up and abolished. The new
sewer is laid at a much deeper level and has a better fall than
the old sewer.
SURREY ROW.
A length of old high level sewer which existed on the north
side of Surrey Row, between that thoroughfare and Nelson
Square, has been filled up and abolished, and the drainage of
premises, which formerly discharged into the sewer, diverted
to the new low level sewer which runs down the centre of
Surrey Row.
SOUTHWARK STREET.
Temporary latrines for the accommodation of troops on
Jubilee Day were erected at the east end of this thoroughfare
at the request of the War Office authorities.
