Factory Bakehouses.
There are in Bethnal Green 19 factory bakehouses,
6 of which are underground. In every case
the mechanism used, which causes the bakehouse to
be a factory, is a dough-mixer.
Generally speaking, the factory bakehouses are
kept clean and in a sanitary condition. Twenty-six
inspections were made during the year, and arising out
of these visits, one notice was served on an occupier
calling attention to lack of cleanliness.
