1873.
In the year ending March, 1873, the most important sewer
work was the construction of a sewer in Bow Common
Lane.
This sewer was another important step in the direction of
providing a complete system of drainage.
1874.
In the year 1874, consequence of the heavy expenditure
for paving, there was no sewerage work of any considerable
magnitude.
The most important were the diverting of the sewer in
Gloucester Street, and reconstructing the sewers in
Wentworth Road, Edward's Road and William Street.
1876.
In consequence of the works of the East London Railway
Company it was necessary to divert the sewers in Bedford
Street.
By an arrangement with the Company the work was done
by the Contractor to the Vestry, but the Company paid
the cost.
