Queimada de Cima (street)
Original title: Queimada de Cima (Rua da)
A Funchal street, formerly Rua do Oliveira and Rua Afonso Vaz, notorious in 1921 for its insanitary stables for hire horses and draught animals.
This public street links Rua de João Tavira with Rua dos Ferreiros (‘blacksmiths’), or do Comércio. It was once called Rua do Oliveira and later Rua Afonso Vaz.
Parallel to it and a short distance away lie Rua Gomes Freire (formerly Rua do Bispo) to the north and Rua da Queimada de Baixo (‘low’) to the south. In these streets are most of the stables housing the hire horses and the oxen and mules used to draw carts and sledges (corsas). The local press has often and at length called for these stables to be removed from the most central part of the city. Despite this, and despite the efforts of some council sessions, it has not yet been possible to remove those veritable sources of infection, which so disfigure the place and contribute greatly to the unhealthiness of those streets (1921).
