As regards the general condition of the Parish, I beg to state that
the carriageway paving is in very good order, as the greater portion of
it is composed of new work. There are a few places which must, before
long, be re-paved— such as
High Street, Shoreditch (from Bateman's Row to the
Boundary)
Hoxton Street (portions of.)
Worship Street
Holywell Row, and
New North Street.
