SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
The four Licensed Slaughter-houses at present in use in the
Borough, are:— Nos. 118, Church Street; 165, High Street; 70,
Mountgrove Road; and 55, Nevill Road. The results of
inspections have been satisfactory, and the Licenses of each were
renewed by the London County Council in October. There are

Inspections are made from time to time to ensure that no slaughtering
is carried on at these premises.

The one Common Lodging-house in the Borough, situate at
No. 81, Church Street, is under the control of the London County
Council, and is conducted in accordance with the by-laws. Unofficial
