NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. XL MAR. is, 1909.

built by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, has been completed and is fully occu- pied. It has no distinctive name, but the flats are numbered in the three thoroughfares named. In Chapter Street are three entrances. The first is numbered 1 to 11 (odd) ; the second, 13, A to L ; and the third, 15, M to R. In Frederick Street there is only one entrance, to flats numbered 31 to 42 (odd and even) ; while in Regency Street there are two doors, numbered respectively 48 to 58 and 60 to 82 (even). No. 65, Regency Street has been rebuilt by Messrs. W. Sugg & Co. as a part of their works. In Earl Street part of the Westminster Marble Works has been taken by the Roman Catholics, and is now occupied by the Little Sisters of the Assumption, the Nursing Sisters of the Poor.

What may, perhaps, not improperly be styled the official opening of the Army Hospital and the Alexandra Military Nursing Home took place on Friday, 20 March, when Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by her sister the Dowager Empress of Russia and the Princess Victoria, paid them visits, although the unostentatious opening had really taken place in the previous July.

The enlargement of the Tate Gallery, -otherwise the Gallery of British Art a work undertaken at the cost of the late Sir Joseph Duveen was started last August, and is proceeding rapidly, the foundations now being got in. The removal of the temporary bridge, and the consequent alteration in the road level in the front of the Tate Gallery, made it possible to set back the railings, so that a good pull-up for carriages was formed a matter of great convenience, and also a great improvement in the appear- ance of the building itself.

The building in Vauxhall Bridge Road, at the corner of Edward Street, for Messrs. Cole & Co., printers, was completed and occu- pied by the first week in September, the work having occupied about ten months. The idea of the Army Clothing Stores taking over the hospital of the Brigade of Guards in Rochester Row was, if ever seriously entertained, abandoned, and, after considerable alterations, it is still kept as a special military hospital. Early last year the inhabitants near received a scare, for on Thursday, 27 February, the roof of the central block of the old hospital fell in with a great crash. Fortunately no one was in the building at the time. " The Gloucester Arms," next door, has been demolished, and another vacant plot of

land has been added to the number already existing in these two parishes. The houses numbered 97 and 99, Rochester Row, for- merly licensed as " The Lord Clyde " to Mr. Silcock, were demolished in November, and in their place has been begun a hall for meetings for the Salvation Army. The house at the corner of Rochester Row and Vauxhall Bridge Road, being No. 166 in the latter thoroughfare, lately in the occupation of G. (now P.) Holbrook, tea-dealer, has been vacated, the lease having expired. In the middle of November the work of recon- struction began, the building being destined for a branch of the London City and Midland Bank.

So far, I think, the record of the changes in the parish of St. John is complete ; there are, however, many rumours of impending alterations, but time alone will reveal their nature and extent.
