At 32,922 households (70 per cent. of households), all three
amenities, i.e., piped hot water supply, water closet, and fixed bath,
were available, and the occupiers had exclusive use of all three
facilities. A total of 9,951 households (21 per cent.) were without
a piped hot water supply, and a further 1,094 households (2 per cent.)
were sharing this amenity. With regard to the provision of fixed
baths, however, only eight Boroughs in the County area compared more
favourably than Woolwich; on the provision of a piped hot water
supply, in only two Boroughs was the standard higher.
