3.—WEST METROPOLITAN TRAMWAYS EXTENSION.
Is a proposal to extend the Tramway scheme already authorised,
through King Street East by a single line as far as the West End
of Nazareth House, thence by a double line to Russell Road with
a single line to Addison Road Station.
Also for a double line from Broadway to the foot of Hammersmith
Bridge.
Also a branch from the existing tramway in Uxbridge Road,
with a single lino along the road at the Western end of Shepherd's
Bush Green (late Lawn Place,) thence down Shepherd's Bush Road
to Broadway with double line, with the exception of a small length
of about 3.9" chains of single line,
Also for a line commencing at the top of North End Road, opposite
"Bell and Anchor," passing down North End to Walham
Green, round Melmoth Place, along London Road to Stamford
Street, down Stamford Street to Kings Road, and so over the
Stanley Bridge into Chelsea, whence it ramifies out to several
branch lines and eventually terminates at Victoria Station.
The line from the "Bell and Anchor" to Stanley Bridge consists
principally of a single line, with a. number of passing places,
some of considerable length, so much so that in those parts it may
be looked upon more as a double line, than as passing places.
There is also a proposed continuation from Uxbridge Road
Station up Notting Hill nearly to Notting Hill Gate Railway, ay Station;
this, however, affects this District very slightly.
The Board, after hearing deputations on both sides, resolved to
refuse their consent to the said Bill.
