THE SEWERAGE OF DERBY. Fig. of New Sewer. Th£ new sewerage of Derby extending from the Morledge to Cheapside, designed by Captain Vetch, , has been let by the Commissioners of the Derby im- provement Act, for the sum of 3,200/. to Messrs. Booth and Thompson, of Rotherham. The principal work is a sewer 10 feet diameter and 9 feet in height, and about 709 yards in length. The section is nearly a square, see fig. 1, with a segment of a circle added on all sides, being arched at top, and the dish of the invert at bottom, and the batter of the curvilinear side walls, making the appearance above described. The arch and side walls arr from 1 to li brick in thickness, as circumstances require, the invert being only 1 brick throughout. The course of the sewer is as follows:— commencing at the junction of Cheapside with Wardurck along the latter place, and Victoria Street and St. Peters Street, and down ThorutoD Lane and the Morledge to Cockpit Hill. By reference to. the plan of Derby, this course will be very clear, and the cause of this expenditure will be in the recollection of your readers to have arisen from a sudden inundation of the town about three years ago, when the market-place was flooded in a sudden manner, supposed to have arisen from a water spout bursting above the town, on the course of the Derwent.
