Pl help. Where's the social/economic history on this?
Ok. Like, when #JosephBazalgette famously built public sewers in London. Great public network. But where's the story of all the private connections into that?? Retrofitting backyard pits can't have been a small thing. How did everyone afford it, or not? What secured compliance?
Book recommendations etc all welcome. It's not about London. It's about compliance with public health.

At night along the Sewerbank you can see forever… but beware what peers back through the gloom – when you stand above the houses, feet resting on #Bazalgette's gurgling poo-pipes.
