Bakehouses.
There are twenty Bakehouses in the district, and of these
two are underground. The use of one underground Bakehouse
at No. 10 The Broadway, Church End, Finchley, has
been discontinued, and the premises arc now used for purposes
not connected with the food supply.
Two new Bakehouses have been established during the
year, one of these being larger than any other in the district.
From a Structural point of view, many of the Bakehouses
do not reach a high standard, but every endeavour is made by
pcriodioal inspection to require the premises to be kept in a
reasonable sanitary condition.
It is to be regretted that only in two instances has outside
stoking been adopted in connection with the fireplaces
attached to the ovens.
Some difficulty is occasionally experienced in securing the
thorough cleansing of the floor's of Bakehouses and the prevention
of accumulation of rubbish under the troughs, and,
in cases of necessity, the occupiers have been requested to
deal with these matters more effectually.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops.
The Regulations made by the Council under the Dairies,
Cowsheds and Milkshops Order, 1885, provide for proper
Fighting, air space, ventilation, cleansing, drainage, water
supply, and for precautions to be taken to prevent infection
and contamination of milk.
The usual periodical visits have been paid to the
registered premises in the district, and the necessary steps
have been taken to ensure compliance with the provisions of
the Regulations. In addition to action being taken in regard
to certain minor infringements, structural alterations were
carried out in connection with certain existing buildings
adjoining Burton Cottage, Ballards Lane, in order to render
them fit for carrying on a dairy business.
