REFUSE AND MANURE DEPOTS.
Several refuse and manure depots exist within the Borough of
Lambeth, and have been, during the past year 1902, subjected
to careful and periodical inspections. With the exception of
deposits of refuse at Shot Tower Wharf, owing to foggy weather,
and the inability of the barges to be got off down the river, there
have been no nuisances discovered, and these necessary busi-nesses
have, therefore, been carried out, on the whole, in a satisfactory
manner.
There is great improvement in connection with the Herne
Hill Sidings, used as a temporary depot for manure and house
refuse—only one complaint having been received during the year
1902.
The depots situated within the Borough of Lambeth are as
follows:—
1. Lett's Wharf, Commercial Road (City of London).
2. Shot Tower Wharf, Commercial Road (City of West-
minster).
3. Phoenix Wharf, Commercial Road (Borough of Finsbury).
4. Lambeth Wharf, Belvedere Road (Borough of Lambeth).
5. Gabriel's Wharf, Waterloo Bridge (Private Contractor).
6. Canterbury Wharf, Waterloo Bridge (Private Contractor).
7. Cookson's Wharf, Albert Embankment (Private Contractor).
8. Cookson's Yard, Tinworth Street (Private Contractor).
9. Clarkson's Yard, Tinworth Street (Private Contractor).
10. Boyce's Yard, Tinworth Street (Private Contractor).
11. Heme Hill Siding, Heme Hill Station (C. and S.E. Railway).
12. Tulse Hill Siding, Tulse Hill Station (L.B. and S.C Railway).
Daily inspections are carried out during the summer months
in connection with these depots.
The Bye-laws relating to the removal of offensive matters
apply now to manure, i.e., horse dung and litter other than straw,
except such manure be removed or carried in a suitable carriage
or vessel, properly constructed and furnished with a sufficient
cover.
