This is a proposition for a Tramway to
be laid down in the Gipsy House Road (in
Lambeth Parish), near to the Paxton Hotel,
and from thence passing along the following
roads within the Parish of Camberwell,
viz.:—Victoria Road or Dulwich Wood Park,
College Road, and the road in front of the
Crystal Palace, terminating opposite the
Crystal Palace High Level Railway Station, in
the last mentioned road. The length within
this Parish will be about three-fourths of a mile.
The gradients of these Roads are very steep,

haulage up this steep ascent will be considerable.
Route Gipsy
