The workshops in Battersea were up to the early part of the
year 1911, under the supervision of two workshop inspectors, one
male and one female, who dealt respectively with premises where
male and female labour is employed. Owing to the resignation of the
the female workshop inspector (Miss Fairbairn) and the decision of
the Council to postpone the filling of the vacancy pending a report
from the medical officer of health as to the necessity for doing so,
the work of this officer was handed over to the male workshop
inspector temporarily.
