An 18-inch pipe sewer, 1,000 feet in length, was
laid in Goswell Road from the head of the existing
sewer at Rawstorne Street to opposite No. 351,

Whiskin Street from the head of the pipe sewer
opposite No. 27, for a distance of 70 ft. eastwards.
Half the cost of the work was borne by the
Skinners' Company.

being in a defective condition. The old brick

Company, and the brick sewers, where practicable,
