Stench of People Been Flushed Away: A Glimpse into 1853's Infamous 'Great Stink' of London This evocative image captures the essence of the 'Great Stink' of London, an infamous event that gripped the city in the summer of 1853. The Thames River, once a source of life and commerce, had become a cesspool of sewage and filth, leading to a putrid stench that engulfed the city. The photograph, taken in 1853, depicts the bustling cityscape of London with its grand buildings and impressive architecture, but the focus is on the Thames River, which appears murky and foul. The title of the image, 'Stench of People Been Flushed Away,' underscores the severity of the situation. The 'Great Stink' was caused by the city's antiquated sewage system, which could not keep up with the growing population and the increasing amount of waste being generated. The Thames, which served as the primary means of disposing of sewage, became a breeding ground for disease and disease-carrying organisms. The image serves as a stark reminder of the living conditions in 19th-century London and the urgent need for a solution to the city's sanitation crisis. The 'Great Stink' ultimately led to the construction of the London sewerage system, which revolutionized the city's infrastructure and significantly improved public health. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in London's history, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of urban development in the 19th century.
