(3) Bakehouses.—The question of bakehouses has been
reviewed under the Section devoted to factories and workshops.
Here it may be mentioned that there are 16 bakehouses on the
Register, 7 of these conforming to factory and the remainder to
workshop bakehouses. There are no underground bakehouses in
the district.
(4) Premises where food is prepared—There are 25 shops
where various articles of diet are prepared, in addition to 15
small restaurants and eating-houses throughout the district. In
general these premises seem to be fairly well conducted and received
