factory bakehouses are all above ground, while of the workshop
bakehouses, 56 are above ground and 33 underground,
according to the definition given in the Factory Act. When the
Factory Act of 1901 was passed, there were 49 underground
bakehouses in Battersea; 16 of these have been closed, and
the remaining 33 greatly improved and certified as suitable by
the Sanitary Authority. In 9 of the 16 cases in which the use
of the bakehouse was discontinued, the occupier removed to a
newly-built bakehouse in or near the same premises. In 6 cases
the shop was closed or used for another business, and in one case
the occupier continues to sell bread, but has it baked by another
baker.
A list of the workshop bakehouses is given below:— Above Ground.
