PREMISES AND OCCUPATIONS CONTROLLED BY BY-LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.
Offensive Trades.—There are two licensed premises for such trades in St. Pancras, viz.,
a tripe-dresser's in Kentish Town Road, and a tallow-melter's in Tudor Place. 73 visits were
made to these premises in 1922.
Registered Tenement Houses.
At the end of 1922 there were 2,365 such houses on the Register. Statistics as to the
inspection of these and other houses will be found in tables 7 and 12, on pages 95 and 101.
Underground Rooms.
During the period of stringency in housing accommodation which has followed the war
a large number of underground rooms, the use of which for sleeping purposes had in former
years been effectually forbidden under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, and the Housing,
Town Planning, &c., Act, 1909, have again become occupied as sleeping places. Except in a
very few cases it has not been found possible to secure the discontinuance of their use for this
purpose. The reason for this is that the occupants have no place to go to in the event of their
being ejected from the rooms in question.
