Bazalgette Sewer History Tour
Bazalgette and London Sewer History Tour
London’s most famous sewer engineer Sir Joseph Bazalgette (1819-1891) unwittingly banished cholera from the metropolis. Laurence leads a walking tour of locations that help to illustrate Bazalgette’s subterranean achievements and his other grand public works. Laurence also aims to talk about the life of this great Victorian, and set him in context with other sewer engineers, sanitary celebrities and the new Thames Tideway Tunnel under construction.
