SURVEYOR'S REPORT
OF WORKS BXECUTED,
FOR THE YEAR ENDING LADY-DAY, 1872.
GENTLEMEN:
The work executed during the past year, although not involving so
large an expenditure as in the preceding years, has, nevertheless, been of
a very extensive character.
The works of the greatest importance have been carried out at the
expense of the Great Eastern Railway Company, consequent upon the
formation of their new line to Broad Street, and the alteration of the
old.
They may briefly be enumerated thus:— viz., the formation of a new
street 40 ft. wide and 470 ft. in length, connecting Winchester Street
with London Street. A new brick sewer, 4 ft. 0 in. X 2 ft. 6 in., with
Bide entrance and gullies has been constructed, and the surface of the
street paved— the footways with 3 in. York, and the carriageway with
7 in. x 3 in. granite.
The quantity of paving laid by the Company in the above and other
streets upon the line of their works, has been 3,101 yds. super of new
carriageway, 2,269 ft. run of new curb, and 25,970 ft. super of new 3 in.
footway paving.
Also a new brick sewer, 3 ft. 9 in. X 2 ft. 6 in., with side entrance,
man holes, and ventilating shafts, has been constructed in Brick Lane,
between Saint John Street and Bethnal Green Road.
