Markets.—There axe three markets in the Borough,
situate in Bradmore Lane, Approach Road and Norland
Road. These markets have been the subject of much
inspection during the year, both by the District Inspector
concerned and the Inspector carrying out the requirements
of the Food and Drugs Acts.
Many of the stalls in the Railway Approach Market
are constructed so as to form lock-ups when business for
the day is finished and thereby provide a means of storage
for all unsold food.
