long back yards, that at No. 26 being the smallest. As they abut on the old Mill Pond,
all these dwellings are practically well off for light, ventilation, and air space in the
rear.
" Looking at the property under report, it may be described as old and in Some
parts might be in better repair. The light, ventilation and air space in the front and
rear of the houses, with the exceptions above-mentioned, are on the whole fairly good,
and with regular inspection they could be kept in a sanitary condition for a good while
to come. They are all ventilated under the floors, and, though many show no evidence
of a damp course, the walls are dry. The roofs, where possible to ascertain, were tiled
and liable to leak at any moment." The attics in those houses which possess them have
very similar defects to those described in the attics of 7 to 26, Gilham's Court.
" The following table gives particulars as to population, number of rooms, and
ownership of the various houses : —
