For general administration purposes and for the main statistical purposes of this report,
the district is divided into six wards, Waxlow Manor, Northcote, Hambrough, Dormers
Wells, Glebe and Norwood Green.
The majority of the houses in the district are occupied by good-class working people,
chiefly engaged in the local factories and workshops. These include food, jam, and
chemical works, engineering, medical and toilet preparations, paint, dye, and wood works,
laundries, etc. There are no trades carried on which are at present scheduled as offensive
trades.
Southall Borough Council maintains a swimming bath situated in the Recreation
Ground, Southall, which is one of the public parks. The surface area of the bath is 3,600
square feet (120 feet by 30 feet), cubic capacity 16,500 cubic feet (110,000 gallons). The
water is treated by break point chlorination, and a normal chlorine content of 1.0 parts per
million at the shallow end, and 0.7 at the deep end is maintained. During peak periods
this is increased to 4.0 parts per million at the shallow end in order to obtain 2.0 parts per
million at the deep end. Three samples of the water are taken daily by the staff for chlorine
and other chemical testing.
