There are several wholesale meat depots in the Borough,
and a large quantity of meat is distributed from this town to
the surrounding districts. A great deal of this meat is inspected
in the London Markets before despatch to Kingston,
but inspection here is necessary when the consignment comes
direct from the boats, or when some days have elapsed since
it left the London Markets.
Slaughter-Houses.
There are now six private slaughter-houses in the
Borough, all of which have been in use during the year.
The addresses are:—
No. 36, Cambridge Road Registered.
No. 90, Acre Road Licensed.
Bath Passage Registered.
No. 45, Cambridge Grove Road Registered.
No. 120, London Road Licensed.
Cowleaze Road Licensed.
The buildings, with one exception, are old. They are,
however, kept in a fairly satisfactory condition, and the
occupiers show willingness to comply with your Council's
requirements.
One hundred and eleven visits were paid to these
premises during the year.
Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops Orders.
During 1923, 7 persons were removed from the
Register. In 6 instances the removal was due to changes
in the businesses. In the remaining case the premises were
not suitable for the purpose of milk production and the
Corporation decided to determine the registration. The
dairymen concerned ceased to sell milk in the Borough.
