for cowhouses, concerning the unsatisfactory character
of certain of these premises, which are of such old
construction and ao situated as to be difficult of
alteration to comply with modern standards. The
general question of the unsuitability of cowsheds in a
congested urban district was discussed in last year's
report. It is understood that the London County
Council propose to consider whether some of the most
unsatisfactory cowsheds should continue to be licensed
after the end of the current licensing year.
Ice Cream Premises.
There were 170 ice cream premises recorded at
the end of the year, and 361 visits were paid to them
by the district inspectors.
Fried Fish and Fish-Curing Premises.
At the end of 1927 there were 50 fried fish
vendors' premises in the Borough, at three of which
curing was also carried on. There were 21 fish curers'
premises, including these three. Two hundred and
thirty visits were made by the Food Inspector to these
premises, and 14 notices were served for insanitary
conditions.
Workshop Bakehouses.
In the County of London, the Metropolitan
Borough Councils are responsible for enforcing proper
sanitary conditions in all bakehouses, whether wholesale
or retail, which are workshops, that is, without
mechanical power. There are, in Bethnal Green, 53
workshop bakehouses, 15 of which are underground:
208 visits were made to them during the year,
resulting in the serving of 15 sanitary notices.
