V.-FOOD.
§ 1.—FOOD PREMISES.
The dairies, cowsheds, and milkshops, the slaughterhouses, the places where
foods are prepared, and the marketing places have been regularly visited and
inspected. The market and marketing streets have also been regularly visited
on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings during the summer months.
Two cowshed premises situated at 4a, Little Albany Street, and 33, Longford
Street, both occupied by Edwin Jennings, have ceased to be used for the
keeping of cows ; the former was licensed for 12 cows and the latter for 20.
Bakehouses, restaurant kitchens, and similar workplaces where food is
prepared are also controlled by the Factory and Workshop Acts, and have been
dealt with under Part IV.
Food Premises generally.—By the London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1906, Part II., Sanitary Provisions, section 8, a number of sanitary
provisions are made to apply to any room, shop, or other place in which any
article for the food of man is sold, or is exposed, deposited, or prepared for
sale. The provisions embrace sanitary conveniences, cisterns, drains, sleeping
places, refuse, and cleanliness, with penalties for non-compliance. (See Part
