PERSONAL CLEANSING
As in recent years the arrangement was continued with Stepney Borough
Council whereby persons requiring personal cleansing were treated where
necessary at the Stepney Cleansing Station at Branch Road.
The Poplar Cleansing Station, which is in Yeo Street adjoining the
Disinfecting Station, is maintained in proper order and can be re-opened at
any time should this be necessary.
