cases were notified from Gresham Road, Geneva Road,
Hayter Road, Loughborough Park, Canterbury Road, and
Talma Road, each and all having drunk milk from Dairy B.
Coming in later from roads in the epidemic area were
cases from Brixton Road, Tunstall Road, Arodene Road,
Sudbourne Road, Leander Road, Loughborough Park,
Barrington Road, Herbert Road, Approach Road, Raeburn
