BAKEHOUSES.
The number of bakehouses on the Vestry's Register for 1899 is 89, an increase of
one on the number of the preceding year. Of these 57 are situate under ground, 26
above ground, and six are partly under ground. As the result of inspection 76 were
found in a satisfactory sanitary condition, 10 were fairly satisfactory, and three were
unsatisfactory. Sanitary work was necessary in connection with 13, which was duly
carried out under the supervision of the Vestry's sanitary inspectors. In one instance
the bakehouse was reconstructed, in accordance with modern requirements; in two
instances the drains were reconstructed, and in the remainder lime-washing was
required.
The bakehouse which has been added to the register is situate in the rear of
No. 7, Rushton Street. It was some years ago a bakehouse, and has recently been
brought into use again. It was ound on inspection to be situate above ground, but
was in an unsatisfactory condition. It required cleansing, and the drainage of the
premises where it is situate required reconstruction. The necessary work was carried
out and the premises are now in a satisfactory condition. The same is also to be said
with respect to the other two bakehouses, the condition of which was unsatisfactory.
The number of cowhouses licensed in the parish remains the same as last year.
Their condition on inspection from a sanitary point of view was generally satisfactory,
a few minor matters only requiring attention. In two instances the cowhouse had not
been used for keeping cows for many months, and objection was taken by the inspector
of the London County Council to the renewal of the licences on the ground that cows
had not been kept for over nine months ; the licences were, however, granted on the
understanding that cows were to be kept. In another case objection was taken to the
licence on account of the premises being used for stabling horses and certain repairs to
walls being necessary. In this case the licence was granted conditionally, on the
necessary work being done and the premises ceasing to be used for stabling horses.
During the inspection of the cowhouses the number of cows in them was found
The number of licensed slaughterhouses remains the same as last year. One
slaughterhouse was redrained during the year. As the result of inspection, their
condition was generally satisfactory from a sanitary standpoint, only a few minor
matters requiring attention. All the licences were renewed by the London County
