Surprisingly these dust mounds were where hundreds of so called running or flying dustmen made a meager living. Working in the open air in all weathers, amid the dust and smell, they separated out the refuse, selling much of it on, in an early form of recycling. They turned a profit from mere rubbish  -  the 'Alchemy of Dust'.  In time the fear of cholera and other epidemic diseases resulted in public health legislation that banished the dust mounds, and 150 years later Londoners do their own recycling. In this pioneering book Peter Hounsell explores the changes in the management of London's rubbish over the last two centuries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49567117082897,"sku":"GOR006454280","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50541511409937,"sku":"GOR010388128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/144560227X.jpg?v=1761214082"},{"product_id":"ealing-book-book-peter-hounsell-9781905286034","title":"The Ealing Book","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49567360188689,"sku":"GOR006094333","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905286031.jpg?v=1751346601"},{"product_id":"greenford-1939-book-peter-hounsell-9781847841810","title":"Greenford 1939","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580718293265,"sku":"GOR012926305","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1847841813.jpg?v=1751441255"},{"product_id":"greenford-1894-book-peter-hounsell-9780850544398","title":"Greenford 1894","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580723405073,"sku":"GOR004978555","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0850544394.jpg?v=1750946736"},{"product_id":"yeading-1894-book-peter-hounsell-9781841514338","title":"Yeading 1894","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580794151185,"sku":"GOR011684290","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841514330.jpg?v=1751060663"},{"product_id":"perivale-1894-book-peter-hounsell-9780850542219","title":"Perivale 1894","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49624920719633,"sku":"GOR006158281","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0850542219.jpg?v=1751297309"},{"product_id":"perivale-and-pitshanger-1935-book-peter-hounsell-9781847842589","title":"Perivale and Pitshanger 1935","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49624989073681,"sku":"GOR013468522","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1847842585.jpg?v=1751250116"},{"product_id":"bricks-of-victorian-london-book-peter-hounsell-9781912260577","title":"Bricks of Victorian London","description":"Many of London's Victorian buildings are built of coarse-textured yellow bricks.
