James Tyler, 52, Aldgate High Street.
A shop and counting-house occupy the front
of the building; the back part is a large
slaughterhouse in good repair. Not much
slaughtering is done, foreign meat being principally
sold. A large ice safe occupies one corner.
The Pounds are outside, with means of access
from Harrow Alley.
Mrs. King, 53 and 54, Aldgate High Street.
The front of these premises is used for the sale
of meat. At the back of the shop is a door
leading by a passage to the slaughterhouse ; on
the right of this passage is an elevated watertank,
underneath which the sawdust and
sweepings from the shop can generally be found.
To the left of the passage a small railed-in space
is used as a Pound. Beyond these is the
slaughterhouse, which is low, imperfectly ventilated,
in indifferent repair, and ill-kept. A large
ice safe occupies one corner. Animals are driven
in from the street through the shop, which is the
only means of access — a most objectionable
arrangement.
