Sir Joseph William Bazalgette was a civil engineer in the 19th century who built London's first sewer system (still in use today), which helped to wipe out cholera in the capital.
Bazalgette's sewage system was developed in response to the Great Stink of 1858, when, spurred on by hot weather, the waste polluting the Thames (human and otherwise) produced an unbearable stench.
Bazalgette also designed the Albert, Victoria, and Chelsea embankments, which housed the sewers in central London.
