Their condition was found on inspection to be generally satisfactory, a few minor
matters only requiring attention.
Objections were made by the inspector of the London County Council with respect
to granting the renewals of the licenses of three of the cowhouses, in two instances on
the grounds of structural works being required on the premises, and in the other case
on account of nuisance having been caused through delay in the removal of dung from
the premises. The licenses were, however, all subsequently granted the neeessary
structural works having been completed, and it being shewn that the delay in the
removal of the dung was not due to negligence on the part of the cowkeeper. Unless
very great care is exercised by cowkeepers, cowhouses in crowded localities, such as this
parish, are very liable to cause nuisance, and especially so is this the case where cows
are kept in them through the summer months.
SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
The slaughterhouses in Shoreditch number 16, the use of one having been
discontinued, the license being refused by the London County Council on the grounds
that the business of a slaughterer of cattle was not carried on at the premises, and
that a dog had been kept in the pound.
They are situate at the addresses contained in the subjoined list:—
Broadway, London Fields, Nos. 7 Hoxton Street, No. 184.
and 23. New North Eoad, Nos. 64 and 179.
Cropley Street, No. 18. Pitfield Street, No. 53.
Goldsmith Eow, No, 134. Shepherdess Walk, Nos. 60 and 92.
Hackney Eoad, Nos. 35 and 135. Weymouth Terrace, No. 59.
Haggerston Eoad, Nos. 4 and 76. Whitmore Road, No. 1.
As the result of inspection their sanitary condition was generally satisfactory,
only a few minor matters requiring the attention of the Vestry's inspectors.
During the year extensive sanitary works were carried out in connection with
two premises on which slaughterhouses exist, the yards being repaved, and the
drains and internal sanitary arrangements being reconstructed.
In 12 of the slaughterhouses there is only accommodation for killing sheep;
probably about 8,000 sheep, and from 100 to 120 oxen are annually slaughtered in
the slaughterhouses of the parish. The great bulk of the meat consumed
in Shoreditch is from animals slaughtered in districts elsewhere than in the parish.
