REPORT
TO THE VESTRY OF PADDINGTON.
Vestry Hall;
30th June, 1868.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit a Report
of Works executed in the Paving, Lighting and
Sewer Departments, daring the year ending March
25th, 1868:—
Improvements.
In Harrow Road, north of the new Bridge over
the Grand Junction Canal, (recently erected by
the Vestry,) the Carriageway and Footpaths have
been raised and widened to a considerable extent,
and with much advantage to the increasing traffic
in that neighbourhood.
The Footway on the south side of St. Mary's
Hospital has been re-paved with Yorkshire Flags.
The Pavement in the centre of the Footway in
Uxbridge Road from Westbourne Street to Clarendon
Place, has been taken up and relaid, the
remaining spaces flagged and protected by a new
Granite Kerb and Water Channel.
The Carriageways in Burwood Mews, Berkeley
Mews and Albion Mews West, have been repaved
with new Granite Cubes, the old Pebble and Rag
