Shed c is situated on the opposite side of a wide passageway
or Yard. It is now used chiefly for hay, and is
divided into compartments by ordinary wood partitions.
These partitions will have to be removed and the Shed
properly fitted for Cows. The hay also will have to be
kept in the loft over Sheds a and b. When altered a
license may be granted for five Cows.
No. 11. Two Sheds, occupied by Mr. Barker,
Saw Yard.
Shed a is not kept so clean as it ought to be. Better
ventilation also is required. The Shed is occupied by four
Cows, but it may be licensed for six. The ventilating
shaft should be placed at the further end of the Shed.
Shed b is used for the standing of two Cows, and also for
the sale of milk. It has wide doors in front, and is covered
by a loft, the floor of which is too close upon the Cows.
The use of the place as a milk-shop necessitates the doors
being kept open; but for which an opening would have to be
made through the loft and roof to secure proper ventilation.
The license may be granted for two Cows.
No. 12. Three Sheds, in the occupation of
Mr. C. Lee, Goulston Street.
Shed a is a double Shed. Shed b and c single Sheds.
They are cleanly kept and airy, and are licensed for twenty
Cows. This number may be allowed in the new license.
