Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee—That the boundary stones as
at present existing, be adopted and adhered to.
Renaming of Streets,
Complaint having been received from the Postmaster of the South Eastern District Post
Office, drawing attention to the difficulty experienced in distinguishing the name of the
thoroughfare between St. Helena Road and Silwood Street, which road is Corbetts Lane,
The Yestry Resolved—That the whole length of the roadway leading from opposite the
"Crystal Tavern" P.H. to the "jolly Gardeners" P.H., part of which is known as "St. Helena
Road" and the remainder as "Corbett's Lane," be renamed "Corbett's Lane" only,
that the name of St. Helena Road be abolished, and that the Clerk apply to the London
County Council for the necessary renaming order.
And on 27th November, 1894, a letter was received from the Superintending Architect
to the London County Council with reference to the Yestry's application, suggesting that
St. Helena Road be extended to Silwood Street and the houses renumbered, and that the
further piece of Corbett's Lane be renumbered, and the subsidiary names abolished, and
asking the Vestry's opinion thereon.
The Vestry Resolved to adopt the suggestion of the Superintending Architect.
The Vestry, on 20th November, 1894, in response to a petition signed by residents in
Orange Place, Resolved to make an application to the London County Council to alter the
name of the Place to "Orange Terrace."
This was done, but the matter had not been dealt with by the Council at the close of
the year.
