An Underground Guide to Sewers - Stephen Halliday
Lose yourself in the vast sewer networks that lie beneath the world's great cities - past and present. This execrable exploration traces the evolution of waste management from the ingenious infra-structures of the ancient world to the seeping cesspits and festering open sewers of the medieval period. Let detailed archival plans, maps and photographs guide you through these subterranean labyrinths - previously accessible only to their builders, engineers and, perhaps, the odd rogue explorer.
And let's not forget those giant fatbergs clogging our underground arteries, or the storm-surge super-structures of tomorrow. It investigates and celebrates the work of the civil engineers whose pioneering integrated sewer systems brought to a close the devastating cholera epidemics of the mid-19th century and continue to serve a vastly increased population today.
