BAKEHOUSES.
Three complete inspections were made by me during the year,
independently of the visits made by the Sanitary Inspectors. I
reported to the Vestry that "the number of Bakehouses now in the
parish was 75. They comprised 51 on the ground floor, 21 in
basements, and three eel pie shops in basements. With the exception
of a few cases in which limewashing was necessary, and one in which
insanitary conditions existed, they were all found to be in a clean and
satisfactory state. The insanitary one has been closed for nearly two
years, and is now about to be re-opened. A notice has been served
to remedy the defects."
