Scope and Content
Digging a drain by the side of the Park Wall at Turvey for the purpose of draining the road and need to cross the park, will H Longuet Higgins give permission?

There will be no sewage of any kind in the drain and water carried to the brook would make no perceptible difference to the usual stream. 'It is only rather where we can get a sufficient fall to take the water from the road - the proposed spot for the drain to cross the park is about 50 yds from the Abbey garden fence...'
