BRICKHILL, STEAM MACHINE PRINTER, KENSINGTON AND WALWORTH ROADS. + + * * * * * + + 1857. + + + + +METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT, +18 & 19 _Vic._, _Cap._ 120. + + + * * * * * + +GENTLEMEN, + +IN laying before you a Statement, or Annual Report, of the various +matters in my department, and works executed under my supervision, I +would be allowed to state, that the parish of Kensington having been +regulated since 1851, by the Kensington Improvement Act, passed in that +year, has not been so substantially benefitted by the present Act, as +have many other of the metropolitan parishes. + +During the four to five years the said Act was in operation, a vast +number of improvements were effected, such as repairing footways, which +were in a bad and dilapidated condition, and paving others which were not +then paved. A total sum in this item was expended to the amount of £9024 +5s. 9d. + +The sanitary state of the Parish was greatly improved by the properly +scavengering and repairing roads, which had been neglected for many +years. A large amount of material was used, and I am happy to state, +that during the term before mentioned, I was enabled to put these Roads +into a good trafficable condition. + +The Act consolidated the various Lighting Districts then existing under +the 3rd & 4th Will. 4, Cap. 90, and enabled the Commissioners to supply +between two to three hundred additional lamps, and so better regulate and +diffuse the lighting over the whole parish. + +Many new streets were paved and repaired by the owners, and others made +up under the 27th section, all of which were taken to by the +Commissioners. + + * * * * * + +Under the provisions of the present Act, the whole of the management of +the sewerage and drainage of the parish (the main lines excepted), +together with certain regulations as to buildings, have been imposed upon +the vestry; and I now endeavour, as briefly as possible, to describe the +general manner by which this parish is drained, and to give an epitome of +the general works done since the passing of the said Act. + + * * * * * + +THE SEWERAGE OF THIS PARISH IS RECEIVED INTO FOUR MAIN LINES; viz.: the +Counter Creek, the Church-street Sewer, the Queen-street Sewer, and +Smith-street Sewer; of these, the Counter Creek is of the most +importance, as it to a great extent serves to receive the various minor +sewers. This sewer enters two portions of the parish, one division at +its northern, and the other at its eastern side. At the extreme northern +boundary, at Kensal Green, it has three distinct branches, western, +central and eastern, flowing south and westerly, having two branches on +the east and one on the west. + +The branch on the west is an open stream, passes as a brick sewer under +the Canal and the Great Western Railway, where it again appears as an +open ditch, and continues along on the verge of the Parish, there it +crosses into the Latimer Road out of the Parish Boundaries,—at this point +it is a brick sewer. + +The central branch commences at the front of the Kensal Green Cemetery, +proceeds as a Brick Sewer under the Canal and Railway, when it appears as +an open ditch running southerly to the Walmer Road. The eastern branch +enters this parish from Kensal New Town at the Canal Bridge as a brick +sewer, then ceases as a covered sewer, and proceeds as an open ditch, +with brick invert to its junction with the central branch,—from this +point the central and eastern branches combine as one stream to the +Bramley Road, and continue as a brick sewer, 6 ft. by 4 ft., at the west +side of St. James’ Square, Norlands: here the western branch returns from +Hammersmith parish, and forms junction with the above and central line, +and continues as one sewer, 6 ft. by 4ft., along St. Ann’s Road, across +Royal Crescent, under the Uxbridge Road, along by the western side of +Addison Road, across the Western Road, continuing along Warwick Road, +receiving at Pembroke Road the eastern branch, continuing into and across +the Old Brompton Road, along the east side of Brompton Cemetery to the +limits of the parish in the Fulham Road. + + * * * * * + +The eastern division of the Counter Creek enters the parish from +Paddington at the north end of Palace Gardens, there passes into St. +Margaret’s, Westminster, and again returns into Kensington at the +Kensington Road, by the North end of Young Street, and proceeds +south-westerly through Kensington Square, east side, along south end to +the Workhouse, continuing to and along Pembroke Road, to its junction +with the principal line in the Warwick Road. + + * * * * * + +Into the western branch of the Counter Creek are carried by various +drains the surface drainage of the meadow land, extending from Kensal +Green to the boundaries of the parish—east and west, up to the Lancaster +Road; at this point commence the sewers which have been constructed for +the drainage of the neighbourhood of Notting Hill, Norlands, and +Westbourne Grove, all of which have their outlets into the Counter Creek, +passing over the Uxbridge Road. North of Kensington Road, east and west, +the drainage is to the Counters Creek. On the south side of the +Kensington Road including all such portions of Kensington New Town, on +the west side of Victoria Road, extending to the Pembroke Road, the +outlet of the sewers is also into the Counters Creek. + + * * * * * + +The area of the parish extending south from its northern boundaries at +Kensal Green, east and west to the Western Road, and from thence all the +southern and western portion, including Kensington New Town are drained +into the Counters Creek. This portion of the parish includes the highest +and lowest land, being 126 ft. at the south of Notting Hill Square, and +17ft. at St. Mark’s Road—ordnance datum. + + * * * * * + +THE CHURCH STREET SEWER, commences in the Gloucester Road, opposite +Canning Place, continues along the Gloucester Road, receiving the +Drainage from Victoria Grove, Gore Road, and adjacent Streets, proceeds +by and past Hereford Square to the termination of the Gloucester Road, +into the Old Brompton Road, turns eastward, receives the Sewers from +Gloucester Grove East and West, continues southerly down Selwood Lane +unto the limits of the parish in the Fulham Road. + + * * * * * + +This Sewer is carried through a portion of the parish, the land of which +has been till recently under culture as Market Gardens. The newly-formed +roads here of the Royal Exhibition Commissioners Mr. Jackson and others +have given an impulse to building in this locality to which this Sewer +will be an important outlet for the drainage. + + * * * * * + +THE QUEEN STREET SEWER, commences on the east side of the Gloucester +Road, Kensington, proceeds southerly in an irregular form, through the +land belonging to the Royal Exhibition Commissioners—forms a junction +with a branch from Park Lane, continues in an irregular and uneven course +into Cromwell Lane, and then westerly into the Old Brompton Road, thence +south easterly down Pelham Road, into Pelham Place, where it receives the +drainage from Alfred Place West, Thurloe Square, and South Street—from +Pelham Place it is directed westerly into Pelham Crescent, and thence +westward along Fulham Road, receiving at Sydney Place, the partial +drainage of Onslow Square, and then it proceeds to its outlet from the +parish by Sydney Street. + + * * * * * + +THE SMITH STREET SEWER, commences at the eastern limit of Brompton Road, +proceeds westward along the Brompton Road into the Fulham Road, and +passes from the parish at Keppell Street. This Sewer is the outlet for +the adjacent Sewers on the North side of the Brompton Road; and of Grove +Place, Michael’s Grove, and Brompton Crescent, on the South Side. + + * * * * * + +A portion of the Kensington branch of the Counter Creek sewer, taking the +drainage from Notting-hill, east of the Turnpike-gate, Uxbridge, and +other streets and places in that locality, passing through a part of St. +Margaret’s, Westminster, to Young-street, receiving the drainage from +several streets and places in the town proper, and also the whole of the +drainage from Kensington New-town. At the Workhouse the sewer is 5 ft. 6 +in. by 3 ft. 6 in., and here terminates; the sewage matter, being +conveyed from thence along the Pembroke-road, by an 18 in. glazed +stoneware pipe, which also receives the drainage of the Pembroke-road and +Hutchinson’s estate. + +In consequence of the difference in size of sewers, as here marked out, +the basements of a vast number of houses in the New-town and other places +have been flooded from time to time, and serious inconveniences have in +consequence arisen to the ratepayers in those localities. + +It is worthy of remark, that after representations made by the vestry to +the General Board in August last, they directed a sewer of equal size, +viz.: 5ft. 6in. by 3ft. 6in. to be substituted for the 18 in. stoneware +pipe, which will effectually remedy the very serious evil pointed out. + + * * * * * + +The total lengths of sewers in this parish, under the immediate direction +of the vestry, are as follows: + +Brick Sewers 27¾ miles. +Pipe Sewers 7⅙ ,, +Open Sewers 1¾ ,, + +The open sewers are not in closely populated districts, but chiefly in +that portion of the parish at present under cultivation as grass land or +market gardens. + +The VESTRY have lowered the crown of sewer in New-street, to a length of +320-ft., have reconstructed a length of 42-ft. 2-in., by 2-ft. 6-in. +sewer in Charles’-mews; have laid down a length of 115 ft. of pipe sewer +in King-street; and 140-ft. of 12-in. pipe in Sloane-place, in lieu of +the old dilapidated brick drain. These Sewers have enabled owners to +drain their several premises. + + * * * * * + +There have been 45 new Gulleys constructed for carrying off the surface +water from the roads, and many altered, repaired, and cleaned. Air +shafts have been formed for carrying off the poisonous Gases from the +Sewers; and many Gulleys have been trapped. + + * * * * * + +The flushers have cleansed about 8 miles 3482-ft. of brick sewer, +removing deposits therein, varying from 6 inches to 2-ft. which deposits +have been carted away, and have also flushed with water from time to time +pipe sewers to an extent of 7½ miles. + + * * * * * + +232 Applications have been made and granted to drain houses and premises +both voluntarily and in consequence of notices issued by the vestry, and +in all cases where cesspools have existed they have been filled in or +broken up. + +The following Sewers have been constructed by owners of property, in the +various under-mentioned places, viz.: + +670-ft. 2-ft. barrel sewer in the Campden-hill Road. +1400-ft. 4-ft. 6-in. by 2-ft. 6-in., 1 brick—with brick invert, in +cement, in the Holland-road. +450-ft. 3-ft. by 2-ft. 6-in., ½ brick—in cement, with stoneware invert +in Addison-crescent. +59-ft. 12-in. pipe in Johnson-street, Notting-hill. +400-ft. 3-ft. by 2-ft., in an intended road, Old Brompton. +35-ft. 3-ft. 9-in. by 2-ft. 6-in., High-street, Notting-hill. +3000-ft. 3-ft. by 2-ft., on the Phillimore Estate. +And 216-ft. of 12-in. pipe, in Brompton-road, opposite York-cottages, +has also been completed. + + * * * * * + +These works have been done under the personal inspection of Mr. Perkins, +your Clerk of the Works, appointed for that purpose. + + + + +REPAIRS OF THE STREETS & THOROUGHFARES, & PAVING WORKS GENERALLY. + + +I have to call the special attention of the vestry to the subject of the +repairs of the Roads in this parish, which involves a very large annual +outlay, and requires the greatest amount of care, both as regards the +quantity and quality of the materials, and also as to the proper season +for their application. + +My past experience has taught me that this portion of my duty requires +constant supervision and attention. I have computed the length of the +roads in this parish, exclusive of the turnpike roads, at about 53 miles, +and I am happy to state, allowing for the new roads adopted by the +parish, the last annual outlay has been less in comparison to the +previous years, this may be accounted for by the fact of the roads having +become much harder, from regular scavengering, and the better form which +allows the surface water to drain into the channels. + + * * * * * + +The roads may be classed in three sections, viz.: those of great traffic, +which are repaired with granite; those having less traffic, which are +repaired with flints; and bye roads and squares of little traffic, which +are repaired with gravel. I have considered opinions from time to time +expressed by the Paving Committee as to the more general use of granite +for the roads, and shall lose no opportunity in carrying out their wishes +wherever I can judiciously do so. + +I have found many beneficial results, and much saving from the constant +employment of a mason ordered by the Paving Committee to be added to the +staff of workmen, for the purpose of attending to the repairs of the +trenches opened or disturbed by the different gas and water companies. + + * * * * * + +The following is a list of some of the principal footways, which have +been paved, viz.: St. John’s Church, Aubrey Chapel, Gloucester Road, Edge +Terrace, and Vine Place, Ladbroke Road, Old Norland Road, Kensington +Church, Yard, Queen’s Road, Northern, The Mall, St. Peter’s Church, High +Row, Silver Street, Portobello Terrace, Clifton Terrace, together with +several other minor works, also the laying crossings, pitching cab +stands, and general repairs. + + * * * * * + +The following are streets which have been paved and repaired at the +expense of the owners, and adopted by the Vestry: Kensington Park Road +North, Ovington Square, Ovington Terrace, St. John’s Terrace, Portland +Road North, Clarendon Place, Elgin Crescent, Dartmoor Street, Stanley +Gardens, Stanley Crescent, Lansdown Road North, Chepstow Villas West, +Ladbroke Terrace, Ladbroke Road, Westbourne Grove West. + + + + +LIGHTING. + + +The Parish is at present supplied with Gas under contracts from the +Western Gas Company, the Imperial Gas Company, and the London Gas +Company. + +Great attention has been given by the Committee, in the fixing new lamps, +and including the old ones there are now upwards of 1,068 fairly and +judiciously spread over the whole parish. Great facility has been +afforded by numbering the lamps, both in the communication with the Gas +Companies, and also as to their general repairs, and lighting. + + * * * * * + +I have endeavoured, in this my first Annual Report to draw your attention +to the works generally under your control, and executed under the powers +vested in you by the “Metropolis Local Management Act,” and I take this +opportunity of tendering my thanks for the support I have ever received +from you in the discharge of the important duties intrusted to me. + + I have the honor to remain, + Gentlemen, + Your obedient Servant, + JAMES BROADBRIDGE, + SURVEYOR. + + + + +***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK REPORT OF THE SEVERAL WORKS +CONNECTED WITH THE DRAINING, PAVING & LIGHTING THE PARISH OF SAINT MARY +ABBOTTS, KENSINGTON, 1856*** + + +******* This file should be named 41946-0.txt or 41946-0.zip ******* + + +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/4/1/9/4/41946 + + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
