parishes of Deptford and Rotherhithe, which were at variance with the boundary appearing
on the Ordnance Map, and after consultation with the Deptford representatives, had agreed
that the boundary stones as then existing be adopted and adhered to,
This was approved by the Yestry.
The Vestry also Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee—That a
stone be placed at the western end of Midway Place, against the Railway fence, 5ft.
north of the junction of Railway and School, by and at the expense of the Vestry of
Rotherhithe; that a stone be placed in the centre of the party wall of No. 93,
Eugenia Road and Alpine Road, by and at the expense of the Vestry of Deptford;
that a stone be placed at the rear of No. 29, Alpine Road, at the junction of the
boundary fences on the west side of Alpine Road and the north side of Reculver
Road, at the joint expense of this Vestry and the Vestry of Deptford; that the
existing stone at the south-eastern end of the Yeoman Saw Mills, which then showed
the boundary to be 8 ft. from the face thereof, be re-cut to read "12ft. Gin.;" that the existing
stone in the side wall of No. 52, Croft Street, be re-faced and re-cut at the expense of the
Vestry of Rotherhithe; and that it be an instruction to the Surveyor to have the year "1894"
cut into all the stones visited and belonging or partly belonging to the Vestry of
Rotherhithe.
The Committee reported receipt of a letter from the Vestry of Bermondsey, stating that
they had decided to take no action in the matter of the boundary stones: also a letter
from the Clerk to the Churchwardens and Overseers of Camberwell, stating that the stones
were fixed, after arrangement between the two Surveyors of the respective parishes, by the
Vestry of Rotherhithe, after consultation with and at the direction of the Overseers of both
parishes, and that the Board had therefore decided that their positions as at present be
adhered to.
The Committee also reported that from a report of the late Surveyor of Pavements, it
appeared that the boundaries of the parish were inspected in the year 188G, and agreed upon
between the parishes concerned, and "1886" ordered to be cut upon all the boundary
stones then in existence, and that several new stones were provided and others repaired
where necessary.
