The mean annual death rate of the Borough during the past 14
years was 19.4 per 1,000. The diagram given below illustrates the
variation from that mean.
As before stated, the sources of information being unreliable, and
the margin of error being too great to warrant me in attempting an
accurate death-rate of each Municipal Ward, I have this year taken
certain defined areas in different parts of the Borough for comparison.
The four districts chosen were (1) The Woodgrange Estate, comprising
the four roads, Hampton, Osborne, Claremont and Windsor, lying
between Woodgrange Road and Balmoral Road; (2) The Stratford
Marsh, comprising the streets bounded on north by High Street,
south by West Ham Gas Works, west by Metropolitan Outfall Sewer,
and east by Channelsea River; (3) Old Canning Town, comprising all
the streets to the west of Canning Town Railway Station, and (4)
Croydon Road area, comprising all the streets lying between Hermit
Road and Chargeable Lane in one direction, and between Barking
Road and the Hermit Road Recreation Ground in the other direction.
