It will be seen, therefore, that almost exactly half
the flats were first occupied by persons formerly
residing in Fulham. At the end of October, 1923,
there were 1,964 persons housed in these dwellings,
made up as follows :—
Adult Adult Male Female
Males. Females. Children. Children.
464 481 528 487
As these dwellings house approximately 970 persons
who formerly resided in other houses in Fulham, they
constitute a valuable contribution to the "Housing
Problem" in Fulham.
I am much indebted to Mr. H. C. Sydney, Secretary
of the Lewis Trust Dwellings, and to Mr. W. J. Roberts,
Secretary of the War Seal Foundation, for so kindly
supplying me with information regarding these housing
schemes.
