Woolwich; 177, Powis Street; and 10, Market Hill. The occupation
of each of these was discontinued on service of notice.
Factories, Workshops, and Workplaces.
38. There were at the close of the year 145 workshops and
workplaces on the Register; 304 inspections were made, and 13
notices served and complied with; 10 factories were inspected
re the sanitary accommodation and two notices served and complied
with; 308 homeworkers' premises were visited and 14
notices sent and attended to.
Miss Middlebrooke's time being fully occupied with other
duties, she was unable to continue inspecting workshops and
homeworkers' premises; and those where females are employed
were inspected after January by Mr. Tedham and the others by
Mr. Powell. Fifty-six premises where food is prepared, chiefly
restaurant kitchens, were inspected by Mr. Powell, and many
dirty and insanitary conditions removed.
Bakehouses.
39. The number of bakehouses, 62, remained the same as in
1904. They were all inspected twice. In my personal inspections
I found all but nine satisfactory; in these the defects were,
chiefly, dirty floors, walls, and mixing boards. These were
remedied on service of notice.
Ice Cream Shops.
40. Eighty-seven Ice Cream shops were on the register at the
close of the year, compared with 64 and 83 in the two previous
years. There were 212 inspections made, and eight notices
served. Regulations embodying the provisions for ice cream
shops contained in the London County Council General Powers
Act, were drawn up, printed on cards, and distributed at every
shop on the register.
