Overseer; W. G. Marsh, Vestryman; accompanied by Messrs. A. Robinson,
Vestry Clerk; J. G. Hall, Assessing Surveyor; J. P. Norrington, Surveyor
to the Vestry; and Messrs. Henry Burns and W. Thatcher as Visitors,
proceeded to perambulate the Boundaries of the Parish, commencing at the
mouth of the Chelsea Creek, and proceeding thence along the line of the
West London Extension Railway to Addison Road Station; along the
Hammersmith Road to the western end of St. Mary's Churchyard, through
St. Paul's Schools and grounds to Talgarth Road; this point was reached
at about half-past three in the afternoon, the remainder was therefore left
over until Wednesday, the 1st June.
On the 1st inst., the following gentlemen were present, viz.:—Messrs.

Clerk; J. G. Hall, Assessing Surveyor; J. P. Norrington, Surveyor to the
Vestry; and Messrs. Burns and Cavers as Visitors. The party met at
St. Mary's Church, and after reviewing the passage which formerly existed
at the western side of 155, Hammersmith Road, as a means of communication
with the Black Bull Ditch, (which is now blocked partly by the eastern
wall of the St. Paul's School premises, and partly occupied for the storage
of building materials and trucks); proceeded along Edith Road and Gliddon
Road to the bridge crossing the District Railway, thence along the line of
the District Railway Company to the eastern end of Yeldham Road; along
Yeldham Road; crossing Fulham Palace Road; along Distillery Lane to
Messrs. Haig's Distillery at the side of the River Thames, where the
perambulation terminated.
The following is a list of the boundary stones and the resolutions decided
upon in connection therewith.
No. 53a. This stone is situate on the embankment at the mouth of the
Creek, and is in a very dilapidated condition, and it was
decided that the stone next on the right hand side of it should
be cut, dated F.P., 1892, 53a.

stone be cut and fitted as near the edge of the Creek as
possible, and level with the surface of the ground,
No. 52. Same conditions as No. 53.
No. 51. This stone is situate on the embankment, and is marked 1872,
