BAKEHOUSES.
I have personally inspected the 85 Bakehouses in the Parish, of
these 51 are above ground and 34 under, 73 are in use '12 not used.
All new Bakehouses in future should be erected above ground
with the furnaces and coal holes outside, so as to keep the dust
and fumes from the workpeople and mixing with the dough.
Where necessary the floors have been concreted, and the walls
from the floor to 12 inches above the troughs have been rendered
with cement. The ventilation in several has been improved, the
water supplied for mixing dough, direct from the main, regular
cleansing of walls, floors and troughs have been insisted upon,
several occupiers have been cautioned against sweeping refuse
and storing lumber under the troughs.
One hundred and fifty-two men and one woman are employed.
This does not refer to Messrs. Peek, Frean & Co.'s Biscuit
Factory, where between 1,500 and 2000 hands are employed.
