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.
