Standing proudly on the Embankment, a group of London sewermen can be seen gathered around the impressive bust of Joseph Bazalgette. This iconic image pays homage to the man who revolutionized sanitation in the city. Joseph Bazalgette, an esteemed engineer, is widely regarded as the mastermind behind London's sewer system. His visionary designs transformed a once unsanitary and disease-ridden capital into a modern metropolis with efficient waste management. As we gaze at this photograph, it becomes evident that these men share a deep admiration for their industry pioneer.
