Flooding in Kilburn.
In consequence of the phenomenal rainfall which occurred on
Friday, 13th August, flooding of buildings occurred, principally in the
Netherwood Street, Palmerston Road and Maygrove Road area.
Immediate action was taken by the staff of the Public Health
Department and of the Borough Engineer's Department who visited
the scene of the flooding and inspected a number of houses in the
affected area. There was no evidence, however, of sewage contamination,
but disinfectant was supplied when required by the householders.
The disinfecting staff arranged for the collection of damp bedding and
clothes from the affected houses and also from St. James's Mission
