Underground bakehouses 27

Total number of bakehouses in the City 36
During the year 203 inspections of bakehouses were made, and with four
exceptions they were found to be up to the standard required by the Act.
The defect in each of the four cases mentioned was want of cleanliness in the
walls or ceilings, which was remedied forthwith on service of Notice.
Midnight visits were made, i.e., between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.
Two bakehouses aboveground ceased to be used as such, and one was
demolished for railway improvements.
