Galleywall Road.
On 19th January, 1897, the General Purposes and Works Committee reported having
considered the following report of the Surveyor:—
"I have to call the attention of the Vestry to the condition of the footway in Galleywall
Road, from Rotherhithe New Road to opposite Lynton Road. During periods of rain it is one
sheet of water in places, owing to the back line being level with or below the kerb, and it is not
Possible to raise the back line without getting above the threshholds of the entrance gates, which
are at present level with the back of the footway. It is therefore necessary to lower and relay
the kerb on concrete, to relay the paving, and as there is no channel at present, provide a new
3-course granite channel. An additional gulley should also be inserted. 1 estimate the coat of
this work at £160;"
and also a Memorial, signed by several ratepayers of the Parish, upon the same subject;
and having inspected the roadway and having power to act, they had
Resolved—That the Surveyor be and he is hereby instructed to lower and relay the
kerb on concrete, relay the paving, and provide a new 3-course granite channel from
the Rotherhithe New Road to opposite Lynton Road, Bermondsey, at an estimated coat of
£160; also lo relay kerb on concrete from Lynton Road to Southwark Park Road, and
provide a new 3-course granite channel thereto, at an estimated further cost of £75.

Mr. F. T. Talbot,
Resolved—That the Surveyor be instructed to prepare an estimate of the cost of
paving, with hard wood, the roadway, Lower Road, in front of the Town Hall and as far on
either side as in neccessary to deaden the sound of the traffic.
