During the year, in addition to my inspections, there were 244 inspections of the
above bakehouses excluding 10 inspections of the factory bakehouse in Farringdon
Road.
In my Annual Report for 1904, I gave details of the 7 underground bakehouses
that had received the certificate during the year 1903, as required by the Factory and
Workshop Act, 1901, and of the 20 that had received the certificate during 1904, and
of the five underground bakehouses in which no certificate was granted and which
were therefore no longer used as underground bakehouses.
PLACES WHERE FOOD IS PREPARED FOR SALE.
Under this head are included kitchens of hotels, restaurants, and eating houses of
all sorts, slaughter houses, tripe, offal, and other meat shops, fried fish, eel and other
fish shops, premises where ice cream is made, and other places where food is prepared
for sale, excluding bakehouses, which are given above.
The number of these places on the register at the end of 1905 was 398 ; 1610
inspections were made, and 30 notices were served during the year for sanitary defects
found.
In addition to the above inspections of places where food is prepared for sale,
there were also 705 inspections of market streets, each of which includes a number of
stalls at which meat, fish, fruit and vegetables are sold. These streets are also
regularly inspected on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSE.
The license for the slaughter-house at Yorkshire Grey Yard, Eagle Street, was
not renewed, so that there is now only one slaughter-house in the Borough, viz.,
29, Red Lion Street, which was inspected on 26 occasions during the year.
