E. J. Talbot, G. Mabbs, C. Capper, M. Deavin, S. Chafen and the Rev E. J. Beck,
the Rector, to present a Memorial from the Vestrv to the Metropolitan Board of
Works, representing to the Board the great advantage and convenience the proposed
extension of the Southwark and Deptford Tramways would be to the inhabitants of
this parish and adjoining districts, especially the proposed extension of their line from
the present terminus near Bermondsey-street, towards London Bridge. The Deputation
attended a meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works, at the Board's offices in
Spring Gardens, on the 2nd February, 1883, and presented the Memorial of the
Vestry to the Board, when the Board refered the same to their Works and General
