Butchers Shops—Meat Supplies
There are 46 butchers shops in the Borough. Each is provided
with modern refrigerators, adequate sinks and wash-hand basins with
constant hot and cold water supplies.
Of these shops 12 are also fitted with modern refrigerated window
stalls and display cabinets.
Each of these butchers shops has a properly constructed glazed
front thus preventing contamination of the meat deposited for sale
to the public from dust and dirt from the streets and surroundings.
There are no slaughterhouses in the Borough. Meat supplies
generally are obtained from Smithfield Market, and are of high
standard.
Two meat retailers in the district have animals slaughtered at
their own slaughterhouses outside the area.
