There were 29 lamps removed in Lewisham Parish and in
the Hamlet of Penge. Three lamps, with improved burners and
reflectors, were supplied by Mr. William Sugg, and erected at the
entrance to the Yard, Forest Hill; near the subway, Forest Hill;
and Blackheath Village. They appear to answer very well, but
the expense will prevent their being generally adopted. An improved
burner and lantern was also fixed at the lamp at Lewisham
Bridge, and the old argand burner removed. The power of the
burner was increased from 50 candles to 100 candles.
