From Artichoke Place to near Camberwell
Grove there will be laid a Single Line, at which
latter place similar looped crossing points will be
fixed, giving at the narrowest place 7 feet 6 inches
between the rails and kerb. By a slight alteration
this space may be made still more convenient for
the traffic.
From Cambcrwell Grove to about opposite
Mansels' (Printers) there will be laid a Single Line,
leaving a sufficient width for general traffic on each
side, except near the Vicarage, but at which place
I do not apprehend interference with the general
traffic.
Opposite the Vicarage the present crossing
points will remain, and from thence eastward the
Double Line will continue as at present.
This will complete the Church Street Section,
upon which I recommend the following:—
That these proposed Alterations be permitted,
except the placing the looped-crossing at Grove
Lane, where it is evident, from the dimensions I
have given (these being irrespective of the overbanging
of the Tramway Cars beyond the rails,)
