APPENDIX II,
REPORT ON HECKFIELD PLACE.
Presented to the Public Health Committee,
November, 1913.
To the Chairman and Members of the Public Health
Committee.
Gentlemen,
I have on several occasions brought under your
notice the unsatisfactory conditions, both social and
hygienic, prevailing in Heckfield Place, and particulars
as ascertained at the last Census having now been
obtained relating to it, and certain other areas in Fulham
mainly inhabited by persons in very poor circumstances,
a comparison may be made between the health and wellbeing
of the several populations.
The areas selected are :—
1. Walham, Rock and Lodge Avenues. These
immediately adjoin Heckfield Place, and the
houses much resemble those in it. The
populations of the two areas are practically
the same, viz :—Heckfield Place, 1,249. The
Avenues, 1217.
2. Cassidy Road. Population 902. A cul-de-sac
situated on the south side of Fulham Road
opposite the Avenues. Consists of tenement
houses occupied mainly by the very poor.
3. Field Road Area, comprising Field Road and the
streets opening into it, viz :—Chelmsford Street,
Dawson Street, Francis Street, Lundy Street,
Prince of Wales Mews, Shotley Street, Norfolk
