Naylor's Cottages Area.—In September, 1938, I submitted
an official representation with regard to Nos. 1, 2,

The roofs in part were defective; some of the walls
bulged; there was lack of proper lighting and ventilation;
the woodwork was decayed and many other insanitary
conditions existed.

A resolution was passed by the Council declaring the area
as a Clearance Area in September.
The Evesham Street Area.—In September, 1937, I
submitted an official representation with respect to the
area known as the "Evesham Street Area."
This area comprises ten brick-built, two-storey dwellings,
seven being in Evesham Street and three in Latimer Road.
Some of the buildings are old and worn out; the brickwork
in part is bulged and defective; there is rising dampness
in every house; the premises are badly ventilated
and lighted and many other insanitary conditions exist.
The premises provide accommodation for 47 persons
In April, 1938, the Ministry of Health issued an Order
confirming the Clearance Order made by the Council
entitled the "Hammersmith (Evesham Street) Housing
Confirmation Order 1938."
