Lambeth Cholera Outbreak of 1848-1849 - Thomas, Amanda J.

Situated on the south bank of the River Thames, by 1848 Lambeth's waterfront had become London's industrial center and a magnet to migrant workers. This book exposes the suffering of the working population in the face of apathy and ineptitude, and challenges the belief that London's numerous cholera outbreaks beginning in 1832 were unrelated.
