1. Dr John Snow is best known for the part he played in stopping the cholera outbreak in Broad Street, London, in 1854. A pub on the corner of Broadwick and Lexington Streets in London’s West end was renamed ‘The John Snow’ to celebrate the centenary of that outbreak. It is clear from the historical material displayed in that pub that the local residents disliked the squalor and stench intensely. For example, they wrote to the editor ofThe Times‘Sur, – May we beg and beseachyour proteckshion and power, We are Sur, as it may be, living in a Wilderness, so far as the rest of London knows anything of us, or as the rich and great people care about. We live in muck and filth. We aint got no Priviy, no dust bins, no drains no water-splies and no drain or suer in the hole place .’.
