ing the rear of the houses on the East side of Latymer
Road to within a point about 200 yards Northward
of the Latymer Arms P.H. Here the Eastern boundary
follows the line of path up to Latymer Arms
P.H., and breaks away slightly to the South-East and
follows the rear of the houses in Latymer Road to a
point in St. Ann's Road, opposite the S.W. corner of
Crescent Street ; thence in a Southerly direction, taking
a portion of the houses in Latymer Road to a point 200
feet south of Clifton Street. Here the boundary again
follows the path for a short distance, via Norland Road
to Uxbridge Road ; this brings us to about the centre of
the District. The breadth here is about 1¾ miles.
The Eastern boundary then crosses the Uxbridge
Road at right angles, and crossing the Holland Road in
a diagonal direction and the West London Extension
Railway at a point close by the junction with L. & S.W.
Railway, and follows the line of the Extension Railway
to the Kensington (Addison Road) Station, a portion of
which station, viz., the down platform and the rails being
within the Fulham District; thence, still following the
Railway, to Hammersmith Road, which it crosses at
right angles; thence for about 800 feet it still follows the
line of Railway, breaking out Eastward, crossing the
line diagonally for about 250 feet, returning across the
line and following it to Stamford Bridge, where it crosses
the road and running along the centre of the Creek lor
about 400 feet to opposite the Flour Mills, again crossing
the Railway to the Gas Works basin, across the basin
and again across the Railway to the Creek and on to the
River Thames. The breadth here from the Creek to
Craven Cottage, that is from East to West, is about one
mile and seven furlongs.
A line, extending about 4½ miles, drawn along the
centre of the River Thames from the Creek to a point
opposite the Boat House belonging to Cedar House at
the commencement of Chiswick Mall forms the Southern
boundary of the District.
