COMMON LODGING-HOUSES.
There are only two common lodging-houses
in the City. (1) New Street, Bishopsgate.
(2) Furnival Street, Holborn.
Nos. 24 and 25, New Street, Bishopsgate,
were registered in 1880 as one “common
lodging-house,” having been originally part of
the City of London Workhouse or Infirmary,
and subsequently a Hospital for the Police
Force.
The two houses consist of fifteen rooms,
including ten bedrooms for sixty-nine beds,
with a cubical space of 321 feet per bed.
The premises are old and require the
frequent interference of the Sanitary Inspector
of the District, who visits them every six
weeks, serving Notices to remedy any sanitary
defects discovered, and seeing that they are
complied with to his satisfaction.
