infant mortality in Walham Ward was, as has generally
been the case, much above that of the rest of the borough,
and was double that of Town Ward, but the enormous
loss of infant life in the poorer districts is best illustrated

viz.:—
Deaths of Infants
under one year
per 1,000 births.
Heckfield Place 281
Walham, Rock and Lodge Avenues 305
