Bakehouses.
At the end of the year there were 76 bakehouses in use in
the Borough, 12 of which were underground bakehouses. These
were kept under supervision by the district sanitary inspectors
to ensure that they were maintained in a satisfactory condition.
Restaurants and Eating Houses.
The register of eating houses indicates that at the end
of the year there were 359 premises in Camberwell used for this
purpose. This is 37 more than were reported last year. When an
application is made to the district office of the Ministry of Food
for a catering licence, the Public Health Department is notified
of the name and address of the applicant, together with the
situation of the premises at which the business is to be conducted.
If the premises concerned have not previously been in
use as an eating house, a report is forwarded to the Ministry
as to their suitability for this purpose prior to the issue of a
licence.
All restaurants and eating houses are kept under supervision
by the district sanitary inspectors.
Street Traders.
Seventy-nine street traders licences were issued by the
Council during the year in respect of the sale of foodstuffs from
barrows and stalls. The street markets were regularly inspected
and the premises used by the traders for storage purposes were
kept under supervision by the district sanitary inspectors.
