The following Report of Mr Rogers the County Surveyor made in
pursuance of the direction of the Committee appointed to consider the Petition of
the Inhabitants of Enfield relative to the Bridge
at Forty Hill being read Vizt.
"Survey of the Brook of Water running across the Kings Highway near
"Forty Hill in the Parish of Enfield
in the County of Middlesex
."
"There is Timber Bridge supported with Brickwork built over the said
"Brook wide enough for the passing of One Carriage and which Bridge doth not
"appear to obstruct the Water Course, or to make the Water so deep & dangerous
"for His Majesty's Subjects passing with their Horses Carts & Carriages that way.
"That the Water collecting in the said Road is occasiond by the current
"being impeded in the Water Course after passing under the said Bridge; the
"bottom of which in may parts is higher than that under the Bridge
; which
"obstruction should first be remov'd ; the bottom made with a regular fall & the
"Sides bank'd up; it will I presume then appear unnecessary to make any
"alteration to the said Bridge, or of widening the said Water Course
