Nomination at the Southwark Election, 1870. Crowds in south London. 'This proceeding had, on former occasions, taken place in the old Townhall, in High-street, Borough; but that building has lately been demolished by the Corporation for street improvements; and the hustings were, therefore, erected on a piece of vacant ground near the Borough-road station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. The High Bailiff, Mr. Gresham, opened the business at eleven o'clock, when a dense crowd of people surrounded the hustings, upon which stood the candidates and their friends, exposed to the keen north-east wind...Alderman Sir Sydney Waterlow...made a speech, but could be heard only by those near him, the noise being very great...Colonel Marcus Beresford, the Conservative candidate, was returned by a fair majority of votes over...the two Liberal candidates - Mr. George Odger and Sir Sydney Waterlow'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
