About this episode
Remember the time London was overcome by a stench so foul that it shut down Parliament, and convinced terrified city-dwellers that the end was surely near?
No? Well let us remind you of the grim summer of 1858: otherwise known as The Great Stink.
The crisis brought about a long overdue transformation of the city’s sanitation system that formed the basis for the sewers we still use today – so thanks, Victorian engineers!
This is the stinky ShortHand.
