Elm Cottages.
This property consists of a row of four cottages leading out
of East Acton Lane. The houses were formerly part of the
out-buildings of the farm, but have been converted into dwelling

These houses were in a dangerous condition, and the walls
of No. 31 were held up by raking shores.
They were closed by the owner.
Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6, Narrow Street.
These houses consisted of two rooms each. They had no
through ventilation and generally in a bad state of repair.
Extensive structural work was carried out, and the ventilation
was improved by the conversion of four houses into three, and
putting windows in the back walls of Nos. 5 and 6.
The following table gives the streets inspected in 1910,
together with the chief sanitary defects found as a result of the
inspections. It will be observed that some of the streets have
been comparatively recently erected, and yet the percentage of
sanitary defects in these houses is almost as high as in the
older property. Some of the streets would bear very frequent
inspection, and an infringement of sanitary requirements would
be found on each occasion.
Junction Road was inspected early in the year, and notices
were served for the abatement of the nuisances found. Within
a few months a case of infectious disease occurred in one of the
houses, when the house was found to be overcrowded.
