there is no space between it and the dwelling; no receptacle; drainage,
tackle ,and water supply right; the whole place is without smell,
and remarkably clean; there is a wood-yard at the back; the neighbourhood
is populous, but not crowded.
On the same day I went to Eames's slaughter-house, Rotherhithe
Wall. Drainage good, untrapped then, but trapped on my second
visit, 26th September; ample space between the house and the
slaughter-house; this space is covered, but the roof is exceedingly
high, (the building having been a warehouse formerly) tackle and
water supply right; a large covered tub for a receptacle, which I
thought too small, but may do as sheep only are slaughtered here ;
place clean and without smell; neighbourhood populous, but not
crowded. Recommended.
On the same day I called in at Hetherington's slaughter-house,
at the corner of Manor Lane, evidently fitted up for a stable, and
not for slaughtering cattle. I could see no apparatus; good drainage,
but not in order; no water supply; no receptacle; the situation of the
shed is good, because it is not near any houses; everything else is
out of order.
I passed on to Seare's slaughter-house, a building in a small
turning at the back of Crystal Terrace; good drainage, but not in
order; good apparatus; uo water supply; no receptacle; situation
good; being removed from the houses.
10th September.—Cresswell, in Seven-step Alley. Slaughter-house
a detached building; stone flooring; clean and well ventilated; abundant
water supply in the yard adjoining; a tidal well and good
drainage in the slaughter-house itself; good apparatus, and receptacle;
no dwelling within ten feet of it; the fittest building for slaughtering
cattle yet visited by me. Recommended.
11th September.—Knapps, in Russell Street. A shed ten or twelve
feet from the house; the space between the two, roofed and covered;
water supply close to the door of, but not in the slaughter-house;
good drainage; not trapped; no receptacle; good apparatus, neighbourhood
populous.
Same day.—Mrs. Saul, Plough Road. No slaughter-house at all,
merely a part of the yard covered in with a wooden roof, about ten
or twelve feet from the ground. A journeyman butcher was in the
act of killing sheep when I entered; no drainage; water supply;
neighbourhood not crowded; recommended to build a slaughter-house
at the bottom of the garden.
On the 16th September I examined Mr. Kilsby's premises, Bedford
Place, Deptford Lower Road. Slaughter-house a large shed at
the back of the house, above ten feet clear of the dwelling. No
drainage; no water supply inside the slaughter-house, but in the yard
close at hand; good tackle; slaughters only sheep; small receptacle
or well, about eighteen inches in diameter and two feet deep, for
garbage. The situation is good if everything were in order.
Same day.—Smith, Albion Street. No slaughter-house at all,
