report, 1890-91. 69
Subway No. 2.—
10 Houses in Eastbourne Terrace, and
2 Houses in Chilworth Street.
The Guage for the intended Subway will be the
standard 4 ft. 8½ in., and the motive power to be
employed will be Electricity, or Cable Power.
The Subways will affect the following Roads and
Streets, viz. :—Uxbridge Road, Grand Junction Road,
Glo'ster Place, Conduit Place, Spring Street, Craven
Road, Eastbourne Terrace, and Bishop's Road, and all
pipes and sewers, drains and lamps.
The Subway is stated to be laid in a Covered Way,
but not any plan or description is given of such
Covered Way; and I would call your special attention
to this fact, that the roadway surface on the Longitudinal
Section shows only a depth of about 2 feet from
Soffit of Covered Way.
The Central London Railway.
A portion of this Railway Scheme was before the
Vestry last year. It was then proposed to start Westward
from Queen's Road, along Bayswater Road,
Oxford Street, New Oxford Street, High Holborn,
Holborn, Holborn Viaduct, Newgate Street, St. Martin'sle-Grand,
Cheapside, Poultry, Cornhill, and terminate
there by Exchange Buildings, to form a junction with
the Terminus of the City and Southwark Subway.
