I am glad to report the discontinuance of one more
of the cowhouses hitherto existing in the Borough.
Ice Cream Premises.
There were 171 ice cream premises registered at
the end of the year, and 372 visits were paid to them
by the district inspectors: 26 notices were served.
Fried Fish and Fish-Curing Premises.
At the end of 1933 there were 44 fried fish vendors'
premises in the Borough, at 3 of which curing was
also carried on. There were 18 fish curers' premises,
including these two. Two hundred and forty-three
visits were made by the Food Inspectors to these
premises, and 7 notices were served for insanitary
conditions.
Workshop Bakehouses.
There are, in Bethnal Green, 36 workshop bakehouses,
10 of which are underground: 111 visits were
made to them during the year, resulting in the serving
of 8 sanitary notices.
Factory Bakehouses.
There are also 27 factory bakehouses, 9 of which
are underground. In nearly 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.
One hundred and twelve inspections were made
during the year, and 8 notices were served.
