OFFENSIVE BUSINESSES.
The two premises upon which offensive businesses are being carried on in Shoreditch,
situate at No. 69 Haggerston Road and No. 110 Goldsmith Bow, respectively, have
been subject to inspection during the course of the year. No complaints have been
received in connection with either of them. In each case the business carried on is
that of tripe boiling. Serious defects were ascertained to exist in connection with the
drainage system on the premises of No. 69 Haggerston Boad, and it was necessary to
carry out extensive works of reconstruction in connection with the drains, which were
completed during the current year.
