In addition to the above inspections of places where food is prepared for sale,
there were also 711 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.
There is now only one slaughter-house in the Borough, viz., No. 29, Bed
Lion Street, which, in addition to my inspections, was inspected on 16 occasions
during the year, and one notice was served for sanitary defects found.
The Council decided to take no further action respecting the opposing of the
renewal of the license.
DAIRIES, COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS.
The number of registered dairies and inilkshops in the Borough at the end of
the year was 178, of which 76 were in St. Giles and Bloomsbury, and 102 in the
Holborn District.
During the year 18 dairies and inilkshops were newly registered, 11 belonging
to St. Giles and Bloomsbury, and 7 to the Holborn District. On application for
registration under the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order of 1885, the
premises were also carefully inspected by me, and notices served to remedy any
sanitary defects.
In addition to my inspections the Sanitary Inspectors made 878 inspections
of these premises, and 10 notices were served for sanitary defects or breaches of
regulations.
There is now only one cowshed in the Borough, which is No. 4, Goldsmith
Street, and was frequently inspected during the year, and three notices were
served for sanitary defects or breaches of regulations.
ICE CREAM.
At the end of the year there were 41 premises in the Borough where ice
cream was manufactured or sold, and 118 inspections of these premises were made
and two notices were served for sanitary defects.
As ice cream is often made in the early morning inspections, between 6 and
9 a.m. were also occasionally made in order to ascertain whether there were any
infringements of the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1902.
