Dodd's Place and Kinburn Street.—The unpaved portions of these streets,
as stated in last year's report, were ordered to be paved at the expense of the owners, and
the amounts of my apportionment being paid, except as regards the piece of waste ground,
the Vestry ordered the work to be executed, the footways being paved with V ictoria stone.
New kerb was provided where none previously existed, and a three-course granite channel
provided at the expense of the Vestry; the cost of the work charged amongst the owners
amounted to £64 3s. 8d., as against £64 14s. 6d., the estimated cost.
Lower Road by Park.—The roadway upon the west side between the tram rails
and the kerb, having sunk and become dangerous, it has been relaid to an improved level,
the stones being redressed. The kerb was redressed, relaid upon and backed up with
concrete. The footway widened by setting back the frontage line opposite the Park, Public
Library, and No. 120, and paved with Victoria stone, 9718 square feet of stone being used,
the land given up by the London County Council and Library Commissioners being marked
by brass lines and letters inserted in the footway.
Swan Lane.—The footway upon the east-side, from Rotherhithe Street to No. 82, has
been paved with Victoria stone at the expense of the abutting owners, and new kerb and
three-course granite channel provided by the Vestry, the cost to the owners being
£20 17s. 3d., or £2 19s. less than the estimated cost as apportioned.
Clark's Orchard.—This roadway has been repaved with 4 in. by 7 in. granite setts
upon a foundation of 6 in. of cement concrete, new granite kerb inserted where required
and the remainder redressed, and the footways relaid with redressed York flags. When
building the warehouse near the Rotherhithe Street end, the owner gave up a piece of land
to widen the roadway, and the Vestry continued the carriageway paving to beyond the centre
of the warehouse.
Rotherhithe Street.—(Opposite Bull Head Dock). The portion of the Old Dock
adjoining Rotherhithe Street has been filled up, the existing buildings demolished, and the
frontage line set back so as to provide for a double line of vehicular traffic, the existing kerb
and footway relaid, new kerb laid upon the north-side of the street, and the roadway paved
with 4 in, by 7 in. granite setts upon a foundation of concrete, the net cost of the Street
Improvement amounting to £299 10s. 2d.
