Londons Sewers by Paul Dobraszczyk

Outlines the history of London's sewers from the nineteenth century onwards, using a variety of colour illustrations, photographs and newspaper engravings to show their development from medieval spaces to the complex, citywide network, largely constructed in the 1860s, that is still in place today.
Paul Dobraszczyk is an art historian specializing in the architecture and visual culture of the Victorian period, from underground spaces to graphic design, ornamental cast iron to census forms. He has published widely on these subjects, including two books: Into the Belly of the Beast: Exploring London’s Victorian Sewers (Spire, 2009) and Iron, Ornament and Architecture in Victorian Britain (Ashgate, 2014).
