Table CV. shows the principal trades carried on in the premises
on the Register, but it does not include the trades in workplaces,
domestic workshops, or in outworkers' premises.
Compared with 1911 there has been an increase in 14 in the
number of these trades, this increase having been chiefly in the
sub-districts of Clapbam and Putney.
