London Main Drainage: the Concrete Mills at Plaistow, 1861. During the early 19th century the River Thames was an open sewer, with disastrous consequences for public health in London, including cholera epidemics. Proposals to modernise the sewerage system had been made in the early 1700s but the costs of such a project deterred progress. However, after the Great Stink of 1858, Parliament realised the urgency of the problem and resolved to create a modern sewerage system.

'The Silent Highwayman' from Punch, 10 July, 1858. The Great Stink was an event in Central London in July and August 1858 during which the hot weather exacerbated the smell of untreated human waste and industrial effluent that was present on the banks of the River Thames. The miasma from the effluent was thought to transmit contagious diseases, and three outbreaks of cholera before the Great Stink were blamed on the ongoing problems with the river.
