The old Pebble and Rag Stone Paving in

taken up and used for macadamizing purposes in
other parts of the Parish, and the whole have been

The Footpaths in Edgware Road, opposite
Canterbury and Carlton Villas, and around the

Green, and in Harrow Road, from Ranelagh Bridge
to Queen's Road Bridge, have been paved throughout
