Fish Shops.
Fish shops in which fish either cooked or uncooked is sold,
or in which the curing of fish intended for sale is carried on number
80 (eight more than at the end of 1932). All these premises are
kept under systematic inspection.
Three hundred and twenty inspections were made during
1933 and 21 notices (14 intimation and 7 statutory) were served
for various defects found on inspection.
Restaurant Kitchens.
The number of restaurant kitchens and eating houses on the
register at the end of 1933 was 126. During the year 411 inspections
were carried out and in 51 cases it was found necessary to serve
notices (including 11 statutory notices) to remedy various defects.
Street Stalls for Sale of Food.
There are 207 street stalls in the borough for the sale of foodstuffs
of varied character, namely: vegetables and fruit 141,
refreshments (coffee stalls) 10, fish and poultry 16, meat and
rabbits 5, sweets 8, and other foods 27.
These were systematically inspected during the year, but no
