Bakehouses.
Bakehouses are either factories or workshops within the
meaning of the Act according as mechanical power is or is not used
in aid of the processes carried on. They are therefore subject to
the provisions of the Act and although in the main the factory
bakehouses in the Borough are supervised by the Factory Inspector,
by far the greater part of the work connected with the sanitary
supervision of bakehouses in Battersea devolves upon the Borough
Council as the sanitary authority.
In the Borough of Battersea during 1911, there were on the
register 86 bakehouses, 8 of which were factory bakehouses with
regard to which the duties of the Council are few and 78 workshop
bakehouses. Of the latter 47 are above ground and 31 underground
according to the definition given in the Factory Act.
The following is a list of the workshop bakehouses:—
47 Bakehouses above Ground.
