Bedale Street
(late York
Street),
Borough
Market.
The Granite Pitching forming the Carriageway in this street
from the Boro' High Street to the Railway Arch was originally
intended to be paved with new stone, but, as stated in the report
on Southwark Bridge Road, stones from the end of Marshalsea
Road were substituted. Owing to the enormous amount of traffic
over this approach to the Boro Market, it was found necessary
to work 011 Sunday and at nights, which was done by the aid of a
Wells' light. The area paved was 840 super, yards and the size
of the pitching 3-in. by 1-in., which were paved on a bed of
6-in. Lias Lime Concrete.
