HULME, CHESTER AND STRETFORD ROADS DISTRICT, COMPRISING
Number of men employed in houses visited. Number of women and girls employed in houses visited. REMARKS.
Stretford Road  9  1 Some of these places are workshops belonging to employers; others are what are known as Scotch or Drapers' trades, whose work is done by a class of middlemen; whilst a few are out-workers. The workshops are of the usual sort. Although people live on the premises where work is performed, cleanliness is not a noticeable feature. The fact of people sleeping by night and working by day in the same room gives them a tired and worn-out appearance, even in their youth.

Johnson Street  39  8 The houses occupied by this class of workers are generally dirty, unhealthy, and not properly ventilated. The closets are not consistent with proper sanitary requirements. The above, taken in conjunction with people working in the apartments by day and sleeping in the same at night, is calculated to generate pulmonary diseases and infectious fevers.
