The Vestry referred this matter hack to the Commissioners
for further report as to the Victoria Baths.
Report of the Commissioners of Public
Baths and Wash-houses of Camberwell,
upon the resolution of the
Vestry of October 10th, 1888, with
plans of the Victoria Baths, as directed,
and also further as to the Birkbeck
Site.
To the Members of the Cambemvell Vestry.
In accordance with the Resolution passed at the
Vestry Meeting, on October 10th, to the effect:—
"That the question be referred back with a view
to the Commissioners providing and furnishing to this
Vestry a descriptive plan of the whole of the Victoria
Baths, land, and approaches, as offered to the said
Commissioners for the sum named (£13,500),"
the Commissioners now submit the plans of the Victoria
Baths, and land adjacent, together with the approaches.
The suggestion as to the purchase of the two small
cottages shewn upon the plan, is in order to give greater
facilities of approach from the northern end of the site,
which would be required for the Wash-house arrangement,
and also to enable the coals to be delivered by barge
instead of by vans as now, the present arrangement involving
the carrying of the coals in sacks a distance of
at least 120 feet.
