accident and inconvenience to the vehicular traffic;
also the constant repairs to these strips of Road is
the fruitful cause of a dirty condition of the
thoroughfares.
It will probably not be considered necessary
(at least for the present), that the Stone Pitching of
the whole length of the margins of the tramways
in this parish should be now entertained; I therefore
confine this Report and Estimate to such
portions as refer to the narrowest thoroughfares—
viz., of Camberwell Road and Church Street,
Camberwell; High Street and part of Queen's Road,
Peckham (to about Astbury Road) ; also that portion
of the Old Kent Road from Mina Road to the Canal
Bridge. The quantity of Pitched Paving required
for these respective Roads is about 24,000 yards
superficial, and the cost would be about £20,000.
