In June, 1881, application was made to the Board by Mr.
Dunnage, Architect, on behalf of Mr. George Doo, for the consent
of the Board to certain alterations in the frontage of Saint Mary
Overy's Dock, and Saint Mary Overy's Wharf, towards Winchester
Street, and for permission to close the ancient passage way leading
from the Dock to Clink Street, as shown upon the plan which
accompanied the application. After many conferences, and a great
deal of negotiation with the parties, an arrangement was come to
in August last whereby certain alterations in the Dock are to be
carried out. Little Winchester Street is to be widened, and a
new passage way 6 feet wide formed and dedicated to the public
in lieu of the old one, which is to be abolished. For this purpose
the consent of the Justices of the Peace for the Newington Division
of the County of Surrey, and of the Vestry of Saint Saviour's, had
also to be obtained, pursuant to section 84 of the Highway
Act, 1835.
