Mortuary Accommodation—Arrangement with Holborn
Borough Council
The City Council and the Holborn Borough Council, with the approval
of the London County Council, made arrangements whereby bodies
from Holborn, which were not the concern of H.M. Coroner, were
accommodated at the City Council's Mortuary in Horseferry Road whilst
awaiting burial.
The arrangement came into operation on the 3rd September, 1956,
and two bodies were received in the mortuary during 1958.
