During the year, 88 inspections of Bakehouses were made, and they were
found, generally, to be kept in a satisfactory manner, and up to the standard
required. In seven cases, cleansing or whitewashing was necessary, and this
was immediately carried out.
The Bakehouse at No. 13, Widegate Street, probably the oldest in the City,
has been discontinued to be used as such.
* Established during 1903.
† These have been established at least 23 years.
