No. 19. Shed, in the occupation of Mr. James,
Spital Street.
This Shed is covered with a low span-roof, the wall
plates being on a level with the heads of the Cows. The
place is cleanly kept, and although low and narrow, it has
a great length. The windows open into a Yard behind the
Cows, but these are easily closed at any time. To effect
permanent ventilation, four ventilating shafts should be
fixed at equal distances, along the ridge of the roof. It
may be licensed for twelve Cows.
No. 20. Two Sheds, in the occupation of
Mr. E. Foster, Pelham Street.
Shed a. This Shed was improved in its general arrangements,
and the height added to, after the loss sustained by
Cattle Plague. It is now roomy and cleanly kept. A
license for fourteen Cows to be kept in it may be granted.
Shed b is covered with a loft, the floor of which is too
near the Cows, rendering the place close. It may, however,
be licensed for six Cows, if two ventilating shafts are
carried through the loft and roof, in the central part of the
building.
No. 21. Several Sheds, Yard, and Premises,
in the occupation of Mr. M. Pool,
White's Row.
Accommodation exists here for keeping from thirty to
forty Cows. Ten Cows and a Bull are now in stock. The
license is for twenty Cows. It may be renewed.
