THE PROPOSED LAMP, OLD KENT ROAD, AT ITS
JUNCTION WITH NEW KENT ROAD.
I would suggest that a Refuge should be constructed between
the two lines of tramway opposite Bermondsey New Road, and that
a column, 18ft. high, be fixed in the centre with a 1,000 candle power
arc lamp. By this means a properly diffused light would be obtained,
and the present lamps dispensed with.

A temporary Refuge should be constructed of timber, in order
that the Committee might finally decide the exact position; a
temporary column and lamp should also be fixed.
