Free Washing Facilities in Public Conveniences
Facilities for free handwashing are available in Kew Bridge
(Ladies'), Kew Bridge (Men's), High Road (Men's) and Turnham Green
(Ladies') Public Conveniences, paper hand towels and liquid soap
in tilting dispensers being issued to each.
During 1953, 1,700 paper towels were issued, showing a
limited use of the service. In addition, those who preferred
linen hand towels and tablet soap were able to hire these at a cost
of 3d each, and in the same conveniences 8,375 of these towels were
also used; the use of this service appears to have decreased
during the year and further publicity of the facilities available
appears to be indicated.
