The following New Gullies have been built:—
Denman Street 2
Railway Approach 2
Gravel Lane 1
Marlborough Street 1
Southwark Bridge Road 1
Pleasant Row 1
In consequence of the great depth of the Sewer in Borough High
Street, into which the Gullies in Railway Approach and Denman
Street have to drain, a large Catchpit has been built under the
carriageway at the junction of the two streets, and the four
Gullies are in connection with this by means of 6-inch pipes, the
Catchpit is then connected with the Main Sewer with a 9-inch
pipe; therefore, should any stoppage of the Gully connections
occur, they can be cleared from the Catchpit, thereby saving any
opening of the ground to get at the pipes.
The following Gullies have been repaired, and the brickwork
newly rendered with cement:—
Gravel Lane 2 Gullies.
Sumner Street 1 Gully.
Southwark Street. .2 Gullies.
Castle Street 2 ,,
Orange Street 1 Gully.
Bear Lane 1 Gully.
Broadwall2 Gullies.
Robert Street 1 Gully.
Red Cross Street 1 ,,
Upper Ground St 2 Gullies.
Eleven new Gully Grates and Frames have been fixed, and six
new Grates only.
Three new Side Entrance Covers with wrought iron tops have
been fixed.
A new Man-hole has been built on the new Pipe Sewer at the
junction of Orange Street and Loman Street, in order that the
pipes may be examined in the event of any stoppage occurring.
Two new Concrete Flushing Tanks have been constructed in
York Street and George Street respectively. The York Street
Tank is constructed of Portland Cement Concrete, and is built
upon the break of the Sewer, so that the Sewer can be flushed
throughout its whole length, both towards Blackfriars Road and
towards William Street.
