Kerbing only.
There were 30 crossings laid in Penge, additional to the above.
This is by far the largest amount of Kerbing and Channelling
work which has ever been carried out in one year by the Board,
and represents in round numbers 28,700 feet run of footpath
kerbed and channelled, and 1,163 square yards of roadway crossings.
This does not include any work in new streets. Some delay
took place on account of the difficulty of obtaining material by the
contractors. The work in Lewisham was done by Messrs. Mowlem
and Co., and in Penge by Messrs. Beevers.
TAR PAVING.
The Tar Paving laid on the public footpaths in Lewisham
during the year amounted only to repairing. In Penge the
following paths were laid.
