One hundred and forty-five re-inspections were made
and the work ordered was completed within a reasonable
time of inspection, with one exception, and written
notice has been served on the owner of this bakehouse to
remedy the defect complained of. Out of the 68 Bakehouses
in the Borough, 43 are situate underground.
Slaughterhouses.—There are two licensed slaughterhouses
in the Borough:—
No. 611, Fulham Road.
No. 640, King's Road.
Sixty visits have been made to these slaughterhouses
during the year. At No. 611, Fulham Road,
no animals have been slaughtered for over 12 months.
The slaughterhouse is periodically cleansed and limewashed.
A contravention of the by-laws for slaughterhouses
for the County of London, by permitting
blood from an animal slaughtered at 640, King's
Road, to. flow directly into the drain, was reported,
and this being the first occasion on which a complaint
was made, the slaughterman was reprimanded and
cautioned. This slaughterhouse is periodically cleansed
and limewashed.
The London County Council Inspectors also visit
these slaughterhouses.
Food-preparing Places.—Special attention has been
paid during the year to the sanitary condition of the
various food-preparing places in the Borough. The
number of visits paid to ice-cream premises, bakehouses,
milkshops, slaughterhouses, etc., are detailed
elsewhere. In addition to these, your female Inspector,
Mrs. Davies, has made 117 inspections of restaurant
kitchens and eating-houses. In connection with these,
28 notices to improve the premises were served. We
have a record of 73 such kitchens in the borough.
In the latter part of the year arrangements were
made whereby the Sanitary Inspectors, acting on a rota
of two per week, inspect all the food barrows, market
stalls and food shops in North End Road and other
special localities on Friday and Saturday evenings.
