Table CXVI. 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 1912 there has been a decrease of 12 in the
number of these trades, this decrease having been chiefly in the
sub-district of Wandsworth.
