WHARF.
In June, 1886, the Hammersmith Vestry having given this
Vestry notice to quit the Wharf in Chancellors Road, Hammersmith,
this Vestry applied to the Metropolitan Board of Works for
the site of the Old Toll House, Putney Bridge, for a wharf, who
referred the application to the Bridges, &c., Committee, with
Solicitor, to report on. On the 25th August, 1886, a joint
meeting of the Works and Cartage Committees was held, and a
Sub-Committee appointed to consider the whole question of wharfage
accommodation, and the Surveyor was instructed to prepare a
report thereon to be taken into consideration at a meeting to be
held on the 17th September, 1886, following. On that day the
Surveyor reported on four sites—including that of the Old Toll
House, Putney Bridge—and, after full consideration, it was resolved to
await the reply from the Metropolitan Board of Works.
