A similar arrangement, as to piping the ditch and drainage, was made and carried
out by Mr. Beardsell upon his erecting two houses in Manor-road, and abutting upon
the said ditch.
The sewer at the rear of Dartmouth-terrace, Kotherhithe New-road, has been
continued westward to the cross ditch by the mill, the ground landlord having contributed
towards the cost as before.
Upon the erection of a Tar Distillery at the east end of Commercial-street, the
applicants were allowed to arch over a portion of the open sewer there, upon their
constructing a man-hole, and providing means of access for working the slide at the
mouth of the Commercial-street drains.
In consequence of the great nuisances constantly arising from the wTant of means
of drainage for the houses, Gardener's-row, Debnam's-road, &c., Kotherhithe New-road,
the Vestry caused an Estimate to be made of the cost of carrying up a 12-inch pipe
from the Sewer by the Manor Mill westward, as a temporary measure, such Estimate
being £170; and the Vestry determined, under the circumstances, to contribute one
moiety of the cost of such drain, upon the owners of the property paying the other
moiety. The plan was approved by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the majority
of the owners having paid their amounts, the work has been carried out; and the
Vestry have given directions that the amounts remaining unpaid are to be recovered
from the owners in default.
The owners of the houses Maria-terrace, Branch-road, Kotherhithe New-road,
having contributed towards the cost thereof, a pipe drain has been continued from the
sewer, Dartmouth-terrace, up to the said houses, and the house drains have been
connected with the same at the owners' expense.
The Vestry, in July, 1862, by the invitation of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
again visited the Main Drainage Works, and report their approval of the progress made
therewith.
