PLACES WHERE FOOD IS PREPARED FOR SALE.
Under this head are included kitchens of hotels, restaurants and eatinghouses
of all sorts, slaughter-houses, tripe, offal and other meat shops, fried
fish, eel and other fish shops, premises where ice cream is made, and other
places where food is prepared for sale, excluding bakehouses which are given
on a previous page.
The number of these places on the Register at the end of 1914 was 358;
1,958 inspections were made, and 60 notices were served during the year for
sanitary defects found.
In addition to the above inspections of places where food is prepared for
sale, there were also 803 inspections of market streets, each of which includes
a number of stalls at which meat, fish, fruit and vegetables are sold. These
streets are also regularly inspected on Saturday evenings and Sunday
mornings.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSE.
There is now only one slaughter-house in the Borough, viz., No. 29, Red
Lion Street, which, in addition to my inspections, was inspected on 10
occasions during the year. Only sheep are killed.
DAIRIES, COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS.
The number of registered dairies and milkshops in the Borough at the
end of the year was 187, of which 75 were in St. Giles and Bloomsbury and
112 in the Holborn District.
In all 9 dairies and milk shops were newly registered, 3 belonging to St. Giles
and Bloomsbury and 6 to the Holborn District, and 10 were removed from the
Register.
In addition to my inspections the Sanitary Inspectors made 664 inspections
of these premises, and 6 notices were served for sanitary defects or
breaches of regulations, and in some cases alterations were carried out without
the service of notices.
