BAKEHOUSES.
The bakehouses on the register at the end of the year numbered 61, and included
36 below ground level. In 22 electrical power was in use in connection with
the process of bread making. The bakehouse situate at 16, Paul Street and the
Britannia Trade Bakery in Britannia Street being closed were struck off the Register.
The bakehouses have been subject to the usual inspection, and their general sanitary
condition may be described as satisfactory. In 9 cleansing and limewashing were
required, in 2 there were other minor sanitary defects requiring attention, and in
one there was an infringement of Section 8 of the London County Council (General
Powers) Act, 1908, owing to the position of a w.c. and inlet to a drain. Sanitary
notices were served, and in all cases complied with. In one instance the bakehouse

the service of a sanitary notice.
