LIMEHOUSE CURVE RAILWAY.
An arrangement has been made with the Great Eastern Railway
Company, whereby the land which formed the forecourts in front of
the houses pulled down for the Railway, on the North and South
sides of the Commercial Road, Limehouse, will be cleared and given
up to the Board, as provided by the London and Blackwall Railway
Act, 1877. The ground will then be paved at the cost of the
Railway Company, as provided in the Act.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The premises No. 66, Three Colt Street, Limehouse, at the
corner of Ropemaker's Fields, having come into the possession of the
Board, and it being found impossible to let them, the Board directed
that they should be put up for sale by auction, which was done.
The premises were not sold, and the Board directed that they should
be pulled down and the old materials sold by tender. The site has
been cleared, and the front set back, so as to widen and improve
that part of Three Colt Street.
