Shed b. This Shed is opposite to the entrance into the
Yard. It has an open frontage, and communicates at a
right angle with Shed a. It is fitted up for eight Cows,
for which number it may be licensed.
Shed c is situated on the left hand side of the Yard.
Fourteen Cows stand here, and it may be again licensed
for this number.
A fourth Shed, d, near the entrance-gate, is, at present,
not licensed. It has standing-room for two Cows. The
roof is a lean-to one, but of sufficient height. A license
may be granted for two.
Separated by a narrow passage from these Sheds is a
fifth Shed, which has been hitherto licensed for four Cows,
but I am informed an objection has been taken against a
renewal of the license. The Shed abuts upon the wall of
a dwelling-house, the windows of which open a little above
its roof. To remove the objection which may arise from
this cause, I would suggest that two square ventilators,
fifteen inches in diameter, should be constructed so as to
open into a horizontal ventilator of the same size, running
along the roof from end to end, and having openings only
at the extremities. The roof-tiles should also be pointed
about half the distance downwards, from the wall of the
house. If these improvements are effected, the Shed may
be licensed for the same number of Cows as before.
No. 8. Shed, belonging to Mr. Crunden,
Plough Square.
This place is at present without a license, but the owner
is anxious to obtain one, should the Board see fit to grant
it. The Shed requires improvement and perfect drainage.
It also requires good ventilation, which, as it is covered by
a loft, can only be obtained by carrying a shaft through the
floor and roof. The shaft ought to be placed next the wall,
and in the central part of the Shed, so as to be near to the
