In addition to the general repairs the following special works have been completed.
The footways have been relaid in Silverlock Street, Westlake Road, Oldfield Road,
Chilton Street (south-side), Seth Street, Dilston Grove, Odessa Street, Rotherhithe New
Road (Credon Road to boundary), Commercial Dock Passage (part), Aspinden Road
(north-side), and Rotherhithe Wall (part).
Lower Road.— The whole of the footway upon the west-side, from Orange Place to
Union Road, has been repaved with Victoria stone, the kerb redressed and relaid upon
cement concrete. It was only intended at first to carry this improvement to Wells'
Tenements, but a great portion of the existing Old York flagging having been disturbed by
the Gas and Water Companies, the Vestry, in my opinion, very wisely continued the work to
Union Road, and they were recouped by the Companies the cost of the relaying the
portions disturbed.
Thetford Place, Irwell Place.— These roads and footways have been entirely
reconstructed : a New York kerb and three-course granite channel upon cement concrete being
laid, the flagging of the footways redressed, squared and relaid, new stones being
substituted as required, and the roadway formed with 4 inches of tar macadam upon a
foundation of 6 inches of hard core.
Lovat Place.— The footways in Lovat Place have been relaid, the kerb reset, and the
stones of the roadway redressed and relaid upon a foundation of cement concrete.
Rotherhithe Street.—(Globe to Lavender). The paving of this roadway has been
relaid with redressed granite setts laid on 9 inches of cement concrete, the existing kerb
redressed and relaid, and the footways have been relaid, the flags redressed and squared.
Rotherhithe Street.—(Opposite Tunnel Mills). Owing to building operations
necessitating an extension of the roadway, the whole area from Church Stairs has been
relaid with redressed granite setts laid on cement concrete, the kerb and footways being
relaid.
