A copy of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, has
been furnished to each cowkeeper in the Borough, and
his attention was drawn to the requirements of the
Order at the time it came into operation. Representations
have been made on several occasions to the London
County Council, as the licensing authority for cowhouses,
concerning the unsatisfactory character of
certain of these premises, which are of such old construction
and so situated as to be difficult of alteration
to comply with modern standards.
Ice Cream Premises.
There were 128 ice cream premises recorded at
the end of the year, and 301 visits were paid to them
by the district inspectors: 15 notices were served.
Fried Fish and Fish-Curing Premises.
At the end of 1929 there were 49 fried fish vendors'
premises in the Borough, at two of which curing was
also carried on. There were 20 fish curers' premises,
including these two. Two hundred and sixty-one visits
were made by the Food Inspectors to these premises,
and 10 notices were served for insanitary conditions.
Workshop Bakehouses.
There are, in Bethnal Green, 47 workshop bakehouses,
15 of which are underground: 100 visits were
made to them during the year, resulting in the serving
of 12 sanitary notices.
Factory Bakehouses.
There are, in Bethnal Green, 23 factory bakehouses,
8 of which are underground. In every case the
mechanism used, which causes the bakehouse to be a
factory, is a dough mixer.
