Alfred Heaver – Applications to the Metropolitan Board of Works

It can be seen from this than an increasing amount of Board time was
devoted to the works of Poole and Heaver! This is by no means a
definitive list of Heaver’s works as he did many other projects on the
estates of others once the lands that had acquired were substantially
developed. We have edited the entries slightly so they are a bit more
readable – we hope soon to be able to link them to the PDF version of
the minutes that we have so you can see the exact original text.
Unfortunately, OCR is far from perfect and copying and pasting these
entries from the OCR has resulted in some jumbling of text. 5th December
