Street (Kenniugton) and Elder Road (West Norwood) respectively,
as follows :—
(1) Brook Street—emission of smoke and grit from the chimney
shaft at rear of the Guardians' premises (Brook Street). The
Guardians decided to use small coke instead of coke breeze for
the Infirmary boilers. The existing boiler power is insufficient
for the extra demands made upon it since the erection of the
Nurses' Home and the new Offices. The chimney is low and
ill close proximity to, neighbouring houses.
(2) Elder Road—smoke from a chimney shaft at the rear of
the Norwood Schools, and which, by its low position, is apt to
become a nuisance at times to the surrounding houses, which
are situated on higher ground, so that the top of the shaft is
about level with the eaves of the houses and about 60 feet away.
Babbington coal was in use as fuel at the time of the complaints,
and this was changed to coke, with the use of best Welsh
smokeless coal during the process of cleaning out the boilers
The nuisances complained of have been abated.
