UNDERGROUND BAKEHOUSES.
There are 79 Underground Bakehouses situated within the
Borough of Lambeth, and of these, 72 have been altered and constructed
(as required) in accordance with the Requirements
passed by the Council on November 27th, 1902 (vide Annual
Report 1902 pp. 165-7), and since certified by the Council as
"suitable in contruction, light, ventilation and in all other
respects" for use as Underground Bakehouses (vide Section 101
of the Factory and Workshop Act 1901). These are now in use
as Bakehouses.
The remaining 7 Underground Bakehouses (marked with an
asterick*) have not yet been altered and constructed, and, consequently,
remain uncertified, and, therefore, cannot be used as
Underground Bakehouses (in their present conditions) after
January 1st, 1904. These are now closed as Bakehouses, and
cannot again be used as such until certified by the Council as
" Suitable."
In 3 cases, the Underground Bakehouses have been closed, and
Overground Bakehouses built in their places, viz.—
1. 13, Broad Street—demolished, and re-built Overground at
17, Broad Street.
2. 18, Upper Marsh—closed (ovens removed), and re-built
Overground in the yards of 18 and 20, Upper Marsh.
3. 191, Lambeth Walk—closed, and re-built Overground at
rear of 191, Lambeth Walk.
81, Lambeth Road has been demolished as an Underground
Bakehouse, and not re-built Overground.
The following 12 Underground Bakehouses were not in use as
such at the passing of the Factory and Workshop Act 1901 (i.e.,
August 17th, 1901), and, consequently, cannot legally again be
used at all as Bakehouses, but become permanently closed (vide
Section 101 Sub-section 1 of the Act):—
