SUMMARY.
Aboveground bakehouses 5
Underground bakehouses 19
Total number of bakehouses in the City 24
The Bakehouses were inspected as usual, 98 visits being made for that purpose.
Cleansing, or small repairs, &c., were needed in some cases, which were carried out
forthwith or on service of notice. Generally speaking these places are kept in good
condition and up to the standard required by the Act.
The use of the underground bakehouse at No. 18, Long Lane, has been
discontinued, and as neither bread, biscuits or confectionery are made at No. 155,
Minories, or No. 4, Water Lane, these several premises cease to be registered as
bakehouses.
KITCHENS OF RESTAURANTS.
The inspection of Kitchens of Restaurants, &c., was commenced in the year 1902,
and the value of the work is increasing.
The sanitary condition of those places in the City at which food is prepared for
the large mass of workers who daily enter the City boundaries is of importance.
There are numerous reasons why this work presents problems of difficulty, and
‡ These have been established at least 28 years.
§ Factory Bakehouses (power is used).
