Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The total number of workplaces on the Register is 294, of
which 85 are laundries, and 209 miscellaneous premises, chiefly
dressmakers and milliners.
Table LXXXIX. shows the nature of the trades carried on in
the workshops inspected.
There has again been a slight decrease in the numbers,
chiefly due to dullness of trade, and also to the fact that several
small laundries which were classed as workplaces have now been
given up.
The number of dressmakers, milliners, etc., remains about the
same as in the previous year. The total number, viz.:—887 (165
in Clapham, 114 in Putney, 298 in Streatham, 79 in Tooting, and
231 in Wandsworth), is 25 less than in 1907, the greatest decrease
having occurred in Clapham.
