Bakehouses.
There are 33 bakehouses in use in the Borough, of which
22 are underground, and in 26 bakehouses machinery is used.
The bakehouses were visited regularly during the year, 179 visits
of inspection being made, and 27 notices were served for cleansing
and other matters.
During the year one bakehouse has been closed, and the
oven was sealed off, and it is very improbable that the premises
will again be used as a bakehouse.
The Factories Act, 1937, which comes into force on 1st July,
1938, gives Local Authorities wider powers to deal with existing
underground bakehouses. The Local Authority is required to
examine every basement bakehouse during the first year, beginning
at the date of the commencement of the Act (1st July, 1938), and
in every fifth succeeding year after that year. After each of the
examinations consideration shall be given as to whether, or not,
the Local Authority continue to certify the use of a basement
bakehouse as suitable.
Under the new Act it will be illegal to use a basement bakehouse
again, if it has not been so used for a period exceeding twelve
months.
