IMPROVEMENTS AT BATTLE-BRIDGE.

The inhabitants of Battle-bridge, much to their
Credit, intend erecting, by subscription, a splendid
Obelisk where the old Toll-house stood, to be called
St. George's Cross, for the purpose of improving
the neighbourhood and removing the danger the
public are exposed to in crossing the seven roads
that unite at that spot.
The lower part, or lodge, intended to form a
police station, is ornamented with eight bold Grecian
columns with enriched fascia and cornice, from which
arises eight ornamented pedestals to support gas-
lights, in the centre of which, on the east and west
sides, is the royal arms carved in stone. Above this is
another pedestal with base and surbase mouldings,
with a double faced illuminated clock, which will be
seen at a great distance, the whole surmounted by
St. George and the Dragon sculptured out of one
block of stone—the total height from the ground
about forty feet. The model of which, as designed
by Mr. Stephen Geary, has been submitted to Mr.
Peel, as head of the aew police, Lord Lowther, and
the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Roads, &c.
Thus Battle-bridge, with its dust-hill and turn-
pike will no more be known but by the new desig-
nation of St. George's Cross, surrounded with well-
built respectable dwellings, together with the new
grand and magnificent Bazaar, the extensive Lon-
don Horse Repository, the Panharmonion, Prome-
nade Gardens, and the Theatre now forming, the
Dramatic School, &c. &e. &c. It is expected that
Prince George will shortly lay the first stone, and
be opened on St. George's day.
