Private Ways Book, 1896

Description

Unique IDAS-0781Date1st January 1896Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionThis volume contains a list of private ways in the City that was compiled by the City Surveyor's Department in 1898, after the laneways were inspected in 1896.

The volume is divided into wards and the following information is recorded about each private way: name (often this is just recorded as "lane"); any references to the lanes in CRS 690, City Surveyor's Department Letter Books and the City Surveyor's Building Alignment Books (which are no longer extant); where it begins and ends; and remarks.

The remarks column notes the condition of the lane, its width, whether Council or a private person has carried out any improvements to it, whether it has kerb and guttering, and any other comments, including occasional comments by surveyors in the field.

The book has also been annotated at a later date to show that some of the lanes became public ways or were taken over by Council.
