Report on the sanitary condition of the Parish of Bermondsey for the year 1893
This page requires JavaScript
During the year notices have been served for the abatement of
overcrowding, the cleansing of passages, floors, wash-houses, waterclosets,
and the remedying of other sanitary defects. Nearly the
whole of these houses have a good supply of water direct from the
main without the intervention of a cistern. The yards are well
paved.
The total number of houses now on the Register is 312, the
same as last year. Ten houses have been registered, and 16
registered houses have been pulled down as unfit for human
habitation.
Three houses in Alderminster Road were pulled down for railway
extension. Two in Long Walk, one in Bermondsey New Road as
unfit for human habitation.
One Summons was taken out under the Regulations, and a
penalty inflicted of £5 and 19s. 6d. costs.
