Many thanks to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Libraries for allowing their copy to be used for this transcription "Report of the Several Works Connected with the Draining, Paving & Lighting the Parish of Saint Mary Abbotts, Kensington" by James Broadbridge is a technical report written in the mid-19th century. As a scientific publication, this report details the improvements made in infrastructure and sanitation within the parish, a topic particularly relevant during the post-Industrial Revolution era when urban management was increasingly recognized as crucial for public health and safety. Throughout the report, Broadbridge outlines the various sewerage systems, street repairs, and lighting improvements conducted under the authority of the vestry. He provides a thorough account of four main sewer lines, their configurations, and their roles in managing drainage from the growing urban area. Additionally, Broadbridge discusses the repair and improvement of roads and footways using various materials suited to the level of traffic, and notes the establishment of gas lighting across the parish. His work reflects a significant effort to enhance urban living conditions and the effective management of local infrastructure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
