- This caused urbanisation in cities near factories
- People shared toilets outside, there was rubbish all over the streets and the rivers were extremely dirty
- These were perfect conditions for disease and micro-organisms to grow and spread all over the city
- Only rich families had piped water and their own toilets
- Cholera was a highly infectious water borne disease that had fatal consequences
- In 1948 there was a massive outbreak that killed nearly 70,000 people
- 'The Great Stink' - 1858
- 'The Great Stink' was a result of a very hot summer and a lack of rain
- The smell from the rivers grew worse and earned the name 'The Great Stink'
