Hatteraick Street.—The portion of the street extending from Adam's Gardens to the
wood-yard has been paved with 4 in. by 4 in. granite setts upon a foundation of 6 in. of cement
concrete, a granite kerb placed along each side, and the footways flagged. The cost was
apportioned amongst the owners, and amounted to £42 17s. l0d.; the work included 103½ ft.
kerb laid, 41 sq. ft. flags relay, 119 sq. ft. new Victoria, and 421/3 sq. yds. pitching.
Nolan Place,—This place has been paved with tar macadam upon a foundation of
hard core, with a granite channel down the centre. The cost was apportioned upon the
owners and amounted to .£47 14s. 3d. The area is 1131/3 sq. yds.
Galleywall Road.—A memorial, extensively signed, having been presented to the
Vestry, complaining of the state of the footway in Galleywall Road, the same from
Rotherhithe New Road to Lynton Road has been relaid, the existing stones refaced or new
supplied where necessary, the kerb was relaid on concrete and a new three-course granite
channel provided for the roadway. I have received instructions to continue the channel
and relay the kerb to Southwark Park Road, but this extension was not carried out at the
end of the year.
Yeoman Street.—In connection with the work of connecting the New Approach
Road with Plough Road and by reason of the setting back of the pier at the end of the
boundary wall 20 ft. from the line of Plough Road, this road has been reformed from the
latter road to Chilton Street, the kerbs and footways have been relaid, a foundation put in for
the road, which has been covered with broken granite, rolled, and thoroughly consolidated.
Lower Road. (Bank to Cope Street).—The condition of this portion of the main road
having become such that it was impossible to satisfactorily patch it, the same has been, on
the west side, entirely relaid from tramway to kerb, the whole of the atones redressed, and
new supplied to make up for the waste. The total cost was £143 0s. 10d., of which sum
£40 3s. was repaid by the Tramway Company for portion of the work they were
liable for.
Nelldale Road. The kerb on both sides of this road has been relaid to the extent of
700 ft-., and 3685 sq. ft. of flags relaid.
