Many houses included in the last column of the return
were not let in lodgings or occupied by members of more than
one family, when the houses in the same streets, so let, were
registered, between the years 1885-89. Inspections made in
1895 showed that many of the non-registered houses were at
that time let in lodgings, and a report to this effect was made
to the sanitary committee. The committee, however, decided,
at that time, not to register any more houses pending the confirmation
by the Local Government Board of the proposed
new bye-laws. Latterly, however, a considerable number of the
houses have been registered, the committee having thought
it desirable to register tenemented houses. The newly registered
houses are included in the preceding lists. In 1899
forty-eight houses were registered, 40 in North Kensington
and 8 in South Kensington.
In the fourth monthly report for 1895 a list was submitted
of some of the principal streets, the houses in which,
so far as they were let in lodgings or occupied by members
of more than one family, appeared to be proper to be registered,
as follows :—
(1) NORTH District.— Rackham Street, Raymede
Street, Swinbrook Road, Tottenham Street,
Treverton Street, and Wheatstone Road.
(2) North-east District.—All Saints' Road,
ingham Terrace, Dulford Street, Lonsdale Road,
St. George's Road, Talbot Grove, and Western
Terrace.
(3) North-west District.—Blechynden Street (north
of Bramley Road), Hurstway Street, Manchester
Street, Royal Crescent Mews,* St. James's Place,*
Testerton Street, Tobin Street, and Walmer Road
(south of Lancaster Road).
