Stream 3 - The "Grand Experiment"
f: Photo Tour Lambeth Water Company pre-1852
In his "Grand Experiment," John Snow demonstrated that persons drinking contaminated River Thames water were more likely to experience cholera than those drinking clean upriver water. After 1852, the Lambeth Water Company became the source of clean water with its upriver move, leaving behind the Southwark and Vauxhall Water Company to provide contaminated water. Author and community lecturer Adrian Prockter (2007) presents historic text and images of the formation and existence of the Lambeth Water Company (also known as Lambeth Waterworks) prior to the company moving upstream.
