These Streets branch off the Clapham Road, into the Sewer
of which their drainage is discharged.

In several of these Streets, Barrel Drains, constructed for the
purpose of conveying the surface water from the road were found
to be shallow, with very little fall, and not adapted for the purpose
of carrying off soil drainage, some of them having been
made previous to the construction of the deep Sewers ; in their
place Pipe Sewers have been laid at a greater depth, and with
such gradients as the circumstances in each case would allow.
Water Lane
St. George's Place 1,214-ft. 12-in. Pipe.
Regent's Place 750-ft. 12-in. Pipe.
herne Place 160-ft. 12-in. Pipe, 28G-ft. 9-in. ripe.
The only drainage of these Streets was into open ditches,
which in some cases ran both at the back and in front of them :
the stench from these ditches gave rise to great complaint on the
part of the occupiers of the houses, and were considered to be the
cause of the unhealthy character of the neighbourhood. The
benefit effected by these works is very great, and almost all the
houses are now drained into the new Sewers.
Spring Place, Wandsworth Road 1690-ft. 12-in. Pipe.
This Sewer was constructed partly at the cost of the owners,
who contributed £150 to the cost. This neighbourhood was in a
very bad condition for want of drainage, and the majority of the
houses are now drained into the new Sewers.
