Slaughterhouses.
The following are the 5 slaughterhouses situated in the
Borough of Battersea :—
205 St. John's Hill.
351 York Road.
345 Batteirsea Park Road.
235 Battersea Park Road.
96 Falcon Road.
The slaughterhouse situated at 49 York Road has been
discontinued during the year, the owner not having applied for
the renewal of his license at the Annual Licensing Sessions in
October.
These slaughterhouses have been frequently inspected. The
premises are comparatively small, and are, generally speaking,
not well situated. They are, however, usually kept clean, and
the paving and drainage is satisfactory.
These premises are licensed annually by the Licensing
Authority, viz., the London County Council, but the duty of
inspection, which was formerly carried out by this body, has
been transferred to the Borough Councils by the London
Government Act, 1899. This is a very important duty, consisting
as it does of the enforcement of the bye-laws and regulations
made for the sanitation of these premises.
Cowhouses.
There are only three licensed cowsheds in the Borough of
Battersea, situated as follows :—
14 Belle Vue Road.
122 Usk Road.
17 Wiseton Road.
These premises are licensed by the London County Council
annually, but the duty of enforcement of the regulations and
bye-laws made under the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops
