Medical Officer of Health's
ANNUAL REPORT
FOR 1920.
To the Urban District Council of Enfield.
Mrs. Newman & Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my Annual Report
for the year 1920, which I trust you will find satisfactory. The
Report of your Sanitary Inspector, Mr. A. J. Munro, giving particulars
of the work done in the Sanitary Department, is also
incorporated.
In accordance with the memorandum of the Ministry of Health
as to the Annual Reports of Medical Officers of Health, I propose
in the first instance to give some particulars of the physical features
and general character of the District and condition of its population.
Physical Features.
Enfield is one of the largest parishes in England, being sevenand-a-half
miles long from east to west, about three-and-a-half
miles across from north to south, and comprises about 20 square
miles. It is situated ten miles north of London, and is bounded
on the north by Hertfordshire, on the east by Essex, on the South
by Edmonton and Southgate, and on the west by South Mimms and
Hertfordshire.
