Bazalgette, Joseph.

(Antique print).

Plan and sections of the great Metropolitan Sewage drains, North & South of the Thames.

Date. (c.1850).

London, Guildhall, Clark's Office. Page size. [16 x 10 1/2ins] Original plan of the great Metropolitan Sewage System, London. Taken from the Pictorial Times.

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 problem had been mounting for some years, with an ageing and inadequate sewer system that emptied directly into the Thames. The miasma from the effluent was thought to transmit contagious diseases, and three outbreaks of cholera prior to the Great Stink were blamed on the ongoing problems with the river. Joseph Bazalgette was appointed to the position of assistant surveyor. He had been working as a consultant engineer in the railway industry his appointment to the commission was his first position on his return to employment. Working under the chief engineer, Frank Foster, he began to develop a more systematic plan for the city's sewers. The stress of his position was too much for Foster and he died in 1852; Bazalgette was promoted into his position, and continued refining and developing the plans for the development of the sewerage system........ £40.00

Original printed covers, marked and faded.A humble Chichester shoe-maker, who left school at 11, went on to become a poet of some renown, as well as becoming sexton and verger of Chichester Cathedral. At the age of seven he was fortunate enough to win a place at the city's Grey Coat Charity School. Crocker did not leave his beloved Chichester for the bright lights of London, but actually rooted himself more deeply in the city and its history. He became both sexton and verger of Chichester Cathedral. In 1848 he published 'Visit to Chichester Cathedral', the first ever guide book to the cathedral. As he grew older, Crocker delighted in taking visitors around the cathedral and telling them of its history and showing them the shrines and ornaments of that ancient place of worship.
