Terrace, Hatfield Street and Melton Street,
all cul-de-sacs except Chelmsford Street.

in Fulham.
4. Church Path. A narrow court occupied largely
by costers. Population 406.
5. Lintaine Grove. Mainly tenement houses let
out to many families. Population 802.
Dealing first with the amount of overcrowding in
the areas, and taking rooms occupied by more than two
persons as being overcrowded, it will be seen from the
subjoined table that in Heckfield Place over 76 per
cent, of the population are living under overcrowded
conditions, or nearly 20 per cent, more than in any
other area, and that when we come to more gross forms
of overcrowding Heckfield Place compares still more
unfavourably with the other areas, as 21 per cent, of
the population live four or more in a room against 9 per
cent, in the Avenues and 8 per cent in the Field Road
area.
