In 1831 a terrifying new epidemic arrived in London, there was no cure and doctors had no idea how the disease was spread. Rob Casey discusses how the water supply and sanitation infrastructure made London particularly susceptible to the cholera disease and the drastic transformation that took place to resolve the crisis. These reforms still form the basis of London’s current water supply and sewerage systems.
