Dwelling-houses represented as unfit for human habitation prior to the passing of the
Housing Act, 1930.
There is only one house outstanding under this heading—No. 15, South Street, Isleworth,
which was represented as unfit for human habitation in January, 1915, and a Closing Order made
in April of the same year. A Demolition Order was made on the 23rd November, 1915, but
demolition has been deferred pending the widening of the street by the County Council to whom
the property belongs.
