Upon the application, and at the cost of, the
London School Board the sewer passing under the
site of the School Board's Stores in Clerkenwell
Close was broken up and a 12-in pipe sewer about
240 feet in length laid from opposite Scotswood
Street to connect with the sewer in Bowling Green
Lane.
One new manhole was constructed in Vineyard
Walk, and one in Goswell Terrace.
The whole of the pipe sewers in the Parish were
flushed by water supplied by the New River Company,
and the brick sewers, where practicable, by
water from the main sewers being turned through
them by means of flushing gates fixed in the sewers
for that purpose.
