This photograph taken in April 1865, depicts a young Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, on a visit to the London Metropolitan Main Drainage Works at Crossness. The Southern Outfall Works, a groundbreaking engineering achievement, was designed to address the pressing issue of London's sewage management. The Metropolitan Board of Works, established in 1855, oversaw the construction of this innovative drainage system, which aimed to improve public health and prevent the recurrence of cholera epidemics. The Southern Outfall Works, completed in 1865, was a significant part of this extensive network, featuring an impressive Thames-side sewage treatment plant and a 13-mile-long intercepting sewer. In this photograph, the Prince is seen inspecting the works, accompanied by engineers and dignitaries. The image captures the sense of community pride and the importance of public services, as Londoners worked together to improve their city's infrastructure. The Southern Outfall Works represented a major step forward in London's sanitation history, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment for the growing metropolis. The intricate network of drains and pipes, which can be seen in the background, symbolized the collective efforts of the community and the advancements in engineering technology. This photograph serves as a testament to the determination and vision of the people of London during a time when the city was undergoing rapid transformation.
