Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.—Register of Workshops.—
The number of Workshops on the Register at the end of
1909 was 368. During the year 1910 30 workshops have been
added and 20 taken off the Register, so that at the end of 1910
there were 378 workshops on the Register in Hornsey.
They were as follows:—
Dressmakers 60
Milliners 29
Bootmakers and repairers 46
Cycle makers and repairers 10
Farriers 8
Picture Frame makers 4
Children's Outfitters 2
Tailors 22

Restaurant Kitchens 32

689 inspections were made and 79 written notices were served.
The number of sanitary defects discovered and remedied was 108.
As in previous years, want of cleanliness is the most frequent
defect to be dealt with.
In 60 cases, comparing with 40 for the previous year, the
occupier was requested to cleanse, and this was immediately done.
In 32 cases the sanitary accommodation was found to be unsuitable,
insufficient, or defective. These nuisances were, however,
remedied on the owner's or occupier's attention being called
to the matter.
Home Work.— There are 79 persons on the list of homeworkers,
an increase of 2 during the year. In every case the
premises occupied have been inspected, but no insanitary condition
existed. No case of infectious disease has occurred in a house
occupied by a home-worker.
