The bakehouses in the Borough of Battersea were systematically
inspected during the year, and may be said to be (sanitarily)
in a satisfactory condition.
The following summary of the work done during the year in
connection with the supervision of the bakehouses in the Borough
may, for convenience, be set down here. It should, however, be
remembered that the summarised results of bakehouse inspection
here recorded are included in the tables giving the results of
general factory and workshop inspection.
Above-ground bakehouses:—Twenty-three preliminary and
four statutory notices were served for defects, all of which were
duly remedied.
Underground bakehouses:—Twenty-one preliminary and one
statutory notices were served for various defects, ajl of which
were remedied.
The defects for which these notioes were required had reference
mainly to neglect to carry out, within the prescribed time,
the half-yearly lime-washing of the bakehouses, defective sanitary
fittings, &c.
