HOUSING OP THE WORKING CLASSES ACT, 1890.
Part I.
Kilburn Yale Area.
Acting under the instructions of the Housing Committee, I made
an inspection of the premises contained in this Area, and as a result
submitted the following representation:—
"8th June, 1903.
"To the Chairman, Aldermen and Councillors
of the London County Council.
"Gentlemen,
"Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890.
"Part I.
"I herewith make a representation that in an area in the
"Priory Ward of the Borough, bounded on the N.W. by West
"End Lane, on the N.E. by Abbey Lane, on the S.W. by
"Providence Place, and on the S.E. by the London General
"Omnibus Company's Depot and an open space at the junction of
"Abbey Lane, Kilburn; the generally bad condition of the houses
"and groups of houses, the want of light, air, ventilation, proper
"conveniences, and the closeness and bad arrangement of such
"houses and groups of houses are, in my opinion, dangerous or
"injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the buildings in such
"Area, and that the evils connected with such houses, and groups
"of houses cannot be effectually remedied otherwise than by an
"improvement scheme.
"I am, Gentlemen,
"Your obedient Servant,
"(Signed) Herbert Littlejohn,
"Medical Officer of Health."
