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.
