been set back in a line with adjoining property, and foot and carriageway
has been extended.
The Great Eastern Railway Company have submitted a plan
showing a proposed widening of the north end of Wheeler street arch
to 40 feet. The whole of the necessary foot and carriageway paving
work is to be carried out by the contractor to the Vestry at the cost of
the Company.
Plans have been prepared and application made to the Metropolitan
Board of Works requesting them to leave an opening 40
feet wide at the entrance to Gibraltar walk, with a view of an
improved thoroughfare from Bethnal Green road to Hackney road
being formed.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours most obediently,
W. H. GATHERCOLE,
Surveyor.
