Wharf, Rotherhithe Street.
Considerable progress has been made during the year in the work of adapting the
premises at Bull Head Dock and Victoria Oil Mills for the use of the Vestry as a Depot
and Wharf.
The Contract for the River Walls and Dock was completed by the Contractor,
Mr. Thomas Adams, of Wood Green, N., on the 1st September, and the accounts, as agreed
between the Contractor and myself, amounted to £3678 9s. lid., or £45 6s. less than the
amount of the tender as accepted.
Owing to a sudden dip in the level of the ballast, at the south-east corner of the Dock,
it was necessary, so as to ensure a good foundation, to carry the concrete wall considerably
below the levels shown upon the contract drawings, the depths varying from 2ft. 6in. to
7ft. 9in., for a length of 3'2ft. along the east side, and 21ft. along the end wall, the cost of
weak was £100 16s. 6d., and is included in the amount of the settled accounts.
