The only change in the number of offensive trade premises, other than slaughter-houses,
in London is a reduction in the number of fat melters and gut scrapers' premises, one of each of these
businesses being abanded in Wandsworth and Woolwich resnpctivelv.
The number of authorised offensive businesses other than that of slaughterer of cattle in London, except those under the jurisdiction of the City Corporation, was at the end of the year as follows :—
Fat melters | 24 |
Tripe boilers | 23 |
Glue and size manufacturer. | 5 |
Knackers | 5 |
Fellmongers | 6 |
Bone boilers | 6 |
Manure manufacturers | 3 |
Soap boilers | 13 |
Tallow melters | 10 |
Gut manufacturers | 4 |
Gut scrapers | 1 |
Animal charcoal manufacturers | 1 |
101 |
In several instances more than one offensive business is carried on on the same premises, hence
the number of premises used for the purpose of these businesses is smaller than the number of such
businesses.
The districts in which these premises are situated, the number of premises, and, for some districts, the number of inspections, are shown in the following table:—
Sanitary area. | No. on Register at end of 1905. | No. of Inspections, 1905. | Sanitary area. | No. on Register at end of 1905. | No. of Inspections, 1905. |
