SECTION I.
Sanitary Area.
The Urban District of Southall-Norwood is situated on the
main road from London to Oxford, 9¼ miles from the Marble Arch.
5½ miles south-east of Uxbridge, and 4 miles north-west of Brentford
—the County Town.
The area of the District is 2,575 statute acres; 2,525 acres of
land, and 50 acres of water.
The soil is gravel, with occasional outcrops of brick earth.
The length of the District from North to South is 2 miles 4
furlongs 86 yards, and the breadth from Bull's Bridge to the Sewage
Disposal Works 3 miles 0 furlongs 203 yards, the narrowest parts
being at the extreme northern end of the District, which is 2
furlongs 210 yards.
The highest point above Trinity high water mark is on the
Southall Station Bridge, which is 115.5 feet, and the lowest point at
the Sewage Disposal Works, which is 21.5 feet above such level.
The total length of public roads now under the jurisdiction of
the Council is about 15 miles. The mileage of private roads is
about miles.
Wards.
For administrative purposes the District is divided into East
and West Wards.
The division of the Wards is an imaginary line, which begins
in the centre of the road outside Waxlow Farm entrance, down
North Road to Uxbridge Road, thence to the "Three Horseshoes"
Beerhouse, down South Road, over Station Bridge and on by St.
John's Church, along Western Road, by "Halfway House" Beerhouse,
and on until opposite the "Prince of Wales," where the line
leaves the road, and goes to rear of the two cottages opposite, and
again joins the road immediately after passing over Canal Bridge
and thence on to Watersplash.
