This may sound a long time, but in fact the Lea has been an artery of London life since the Romans settled here. It begins as a trickle in Luton and eventually joins the Thames at Docklands. It’s a cunning, complicated river which fractures into complex networks of smaller waterways. It has a proud industrial history starting way back before the Tudors with a system of massive medieval tidal mills. By the twentieth century there were factories all along its banks, and modern industries too like electronics. Ferguson and Amstrad started here – indeed some historians have called it London’s ‘Silicon Valley’! But with all this development going on, the river itself was getting ﬁlthier. People ignored it: it was as if it no longer existed. It was known locally as ‘The West Ham Dump’. The word Lea gives its name to Luton and Leyton. It actually means ‘bright’, but when I was a child it ﬂ owed a diﬀ erent colour every week, depending on what the factories were pumping out. Eton College set up a charity here for the local communities, encouraging working class children to adopt a healthier lifestyle. They held a swimming contest every Christmas – the fastest child won a turkey. It was the unhealthiest competition imaginable! The Olympics brought life back to this area – London 2012 truly was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform the valley and the river itself. But we can’t become complacent about our water systems or take a clean, safe water supply for granted. The Lea still has massive pollution problems, and a huge act of human will is required to solve them. We have a responsibility to look after our ‘Bright River’ for generations to come, and to do what we can to make sure others around the world can enjoy similar benefits from their rivers and streams. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/185e87306c3021fcc5627b3b193585b3_hd.jpg Hugh Bonneville, actor and WaterAid Ambassador “A sewage works in south-east London may not sound like the most glamorous of landmarks but Crossness Pumping Station is something special. Once described as a ‘cathedral on the marsh’, its unremarkable exterior conceals truly spectacular Victorian ornamental cast ironwork and mighty pumping systems, which are currently being restored to their former glory by a group of dedicated volunteers. Crossness is a testament to the groundbreaking engineering that played a signiﬁcant role in improving the health of Victorian Londoners and helped create the thriving capital city of today. Back in the 19th century, London’s sewage ran through the streets, carrying deadly diseases into the very river on which its population depended for drinking water. The problem reached crisis point in the ‘Great Stink’ of 1858, when the smell of untreated human waste and industrial eﬄuent became unbearable for MPs in the chamber at Westminster. They ﬁ nally took action, commissioning Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer to the Metropolitan Commission for Sewers, to develop a solution for the sanitation crisis. In just eight years, the London sewer system was complete and waste water south of the river was channeled underground to Crossness, where it was stored in covered reservoirs until high tide before being discharged into the River Thames and away from the city. The result was a life-saving development that ensured proper sanitation across London, reducing contaminated water sources and helping to eliminate water-borne diseases, such as cholera, which regularly plagued the city. As an Ambassador for WaterAid, I’ve learned how many of the problems faced by Londoners 150 years ago remain a daily reality for millions of the world’s poorest people. Yet history has proved that with political will and straightforward engineering it is possible for everyone everywhere, to have access to clean water and improved sanitation. If it could be achieved in London in the 1860s, then we can deﬁnitely make it happen today, right around the world.” https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/d4d2d081e5ac003e88c6add9fe74782e_hd.jpg John Griffith, Safe Water Trust Libération, Paris. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/fd872bb6108bc695a16b05789062eb95_hd.jpg Tim Steiner Libération, Paris.

He suggested creating a reservoir by combining two smaller lakes - Wythburn and Leathes Waters - in Thirlmere Valley, near Keswick in Cumbria. One of the main attractions to Thirlmere Valley was its height above sea level, because they needed to get water to Manchester by gravity alone. Despite a controversial and lengthy battle with the Thirlmere Defence Association, the scheme was approved by Parliament in 1879 and work began on building the dam and aqueduct. After an eight-year construction project involving 3,000 men, water from Thirlmere Reservoir first arrived in Manchester on the 13th October 1894. The Thirlmere scheme was a feat of Victorian engineering and helped further secure the long-term supply of fresh water to Manchester. Over 120 years later Lake Thirlmere provides about 11% of the North West’s water, testament to the long-term vision of Bateman and the incredible accuracy and quality of work of the engineers and workers at the time. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/ff6f262940e6e72814852943fbec26cb_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/5aabced5ddbe53916dc177093a3139c8_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/f43a1da6556620befd0e36c80f1cf24e_hd.jpg The Heygate Estate, looking North "We really believed, in a quasi-religious sense, in the perfectibility of human nature, in the role of architecture as a weapon of social reform…the coming utopia when everyone would live in cheap prefabricated flat-roofed multiple dwellings – heaven on earth."

His symptoms got worse and he began getting headaches and heart palpitations from using his mobile for only a few minutes, and this progressed to almost immediate pain when he brought the phone near his head. He decided to stop using his mobile altogether and left his job in the telecoms industry. He is now a teacher and lives in London.

He attributed this to exposure to wi-fi, which he had never lived with previously. His family found it hard to understand the condition, especially when he wore an aluminium foil hat around the house and stopped work as a stone mason. His mother sent him to a psychologist for help and he was later placed on heavy medication, and sent to a psychiatric ward for treatment against his will. “There were questions coming everywhere, they were putting words into my mouth. They were saying 'you know this isn't real don't you?' I got dragged away to a psychiatric ward with people who have serious mental conditions.” Chris sought help from the charity ES-UK and was later released. He now lives on his own and has made various attempts at shielding his home from electromagnetic fields, using carbon paint and aluminium foil. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/233f9da1744d1eac33796155142aea05_hd.jpg Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, London Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, Belsize Park, London.

Water stored up in the aquifer during the winter months, is vital for supplying the city during the summer when demand peaks. Southern Water must carefully monitor ground water levels so as not to abstract too much water in any one area and to prevent salt water intrusion into boreholes located closer to the sea. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/0eb2bbed560f603661fe8969d6312ef7_hd.jpg Longdendale Reservoir Chain, Derbyshire Until the middle of the 19th century, Manchester relied upon local sources of water from wells, rainwater collection systems, rivers and streams. However, rapid urbanisation resulted in increased domestic effluent and industrial pollution and the degeneration of most water courses in and around the city. By the 1830s, Manchester faced a crisis. The health of its inhabitants was at risk owing to the lack of clean water and adequate sanitation, and factory owners demanded ever increasing quantities of water for their growing manufacturing businesses. A solution to Manchester’s water supply problem came when John Frederic Bateman, Manchester Corporation’s water engineer, drew up an ambitious plan to bring clean fresh water from the Peak District into Manchester city and Salford. His vision was to create a chain of seven reservoirs on the River Etherow in the Longdendale Valley, in northern Derbyshire, and for the water to ﬂ ow by gravity to the city. Work began in 1848 and continued until 1884. The introduction of a stable supply of fresh water from the Peak District was instrumental in preventing further cholera and typhoid outbreaks in Manchester. It was the largest and most ambitious municipal water supply scheme built in the world at the time. The chain of reservoirs (since reduced to six) continues to supply Manchester with a vital and stable supply of fresh water. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/92a4c0a5ad3a27c7e014113a1ae07f0b_hd.jpg Water Supply Works, East Brighton This water supply works and pumping station in East Brighton was built in 1932. It has 3 boreholes that currently supply 12.9m litres per day, just over 10% of Brighton & Hove and the surrounding area’s water. All the boreholes sit within the main chalk aquifer, and water is abstracted through a system of horizontal tunnels or ‘adits’ - many of which were hand dug - that intercept water flowing through the fractured rock. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/40a787ec9e40f18f09495a3d17771014_hd.jpg Sunset over Torside Reservoir Overflow Channel, Longdendale Valley, Derbyshire Torside Reservoir is the largest in the Longdendale Chain in North Derbyshire.

The Thirlmere aqueduct is the longest gravity-fed aqueduct in Britain, with no pumps along its 83 mile route (originally 95.9 miles). Water from Thirlmere takes about 36 hours to reach the city. The ﬁrst phase was completed in 1897, with subsequent phases completed by 1925. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/594786452a49dfb46ffcef4f8bc3bac3_hd.jpg Donkey Wheel Well, Saddlescombe Farm. Saddlescombe is located on top of the Downs chalk, where the water table lies 45m below ground level. Three separate water systems were installed at the farm during the Victorian era. A donkey wheel well (built in 1855) pumped fresh water from the chalk aquifer; rainwater was collected on most of the farm roof tops and fed into underground storage tanks; and any surface waters running off the farm flowed into a drainage system, through sediment traps and then directed into a leak ditch and spilt across crops in nearby fields. Saddlescombe Farm was bought by Brighton Council in the 1930’s to help protect the Downs and the vital water catchment which supplied the city with its drinking water. The farm was acquired by the National Trust in 1995. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/260546efcbda5734d39c1674f723ffe2_hd.jpg Jubilee Fountain, Albert Square, Manchester A ceremonial fountain was installed in Albert Square to mark the arrival of Lake District water in Manchester from Thirlmere in 1894. Huge crowds came out to celebrate its arrival, many holding cups to get their ﬁrst sip of fresh clean water. The fountain was later replaced by this more ornate Jubilee Fountain in 1898. Although many people loved the fountain, some viewed it as a nuisance. The unpredictability of the local wind could lead to a sudden soaking. For a time it was left ‘dry’, until it was eventually moved in the 1920s to Heaton Park. It was not until 1997 that the fountain was returned to the city centre and it was placed once more in Albert Square. The fountain is a visible reminder of the important role that the Thirlmere reservoir and aqueduct played in the growth of the city of Manchester and its continued contribution to this day. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9ac3bdc4b03d1e632afe200c9d0ac15c_hd.jpg Rainwater Catch, Stanmer Park John Lawrance of The Stanmer Preservation Society, standing on a rainwater ‘catch’ built for the Earl of Chichester between 1870-1875 to supply drinking water to Stanmer House.

The water was then filtered through sand and charcoal and then fed into large storage tanks under the grounds of Stanmer House. Each cottage in Stanmer village also collected rainwater on the roof, which was then filtered and stored for drinking water. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9c9e0a1e45a4dbb25c21752f5a36912b_hd.jpg John Butcher, Draw-off Tower, Thirlmere Reservoir John is a self-proclaimed ‘pipeline anorak’ who has worked in the water industry for 30 years. He is particularly proud of his association with the 1894 Thirlmere Water Scheme. “I started out as a draughtsman updating paper maps of the aqueduct. And now I’ve been a part of the recently completed multi-million pound refurbishment programme to ensure it will continue to supply almost a million people with their daily water needs for another 120 years. I love that the visionary Victorian engineering of the 1890s still enables 250,000 tonnes of water a day to fl ow downhill to Manchester over 100 miles away. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/10417c8644c78a41188e724da34584b0_hd.jpg Rainwater Harvesting System, Jubilee Library Les Pawlack (left) and Bob Fletcher (right) working on the rainwater harvesting system on the roof of The Jubilee library.

The absence of a regulated sewerage system and the fact that very few homes had even the most basic of fresh water supplies or toilet facilities had resulted in Manchester having one of the highest death rates in the country. Many oﬃcials and councillors who had refused to take the necessary action for years began to realise that something needed to be done to improve the health and living standards of the city’s inhabitants. The Davyhulme waste water treatment works opened in 1894 and became famous across the world for its experimental work on the treatment of sewage and wastewater. The pioneering research of Edward Ardern, William Lockett and Gilbert Fowler at Davyhulme resulted in the discovery of the ‘activated sludge process’ – a biological process for treating sewage and wastewater using air, bacteria and protozoa. The activated sludge process is now one of the most widely used for the treatment of sewage and has found application in almost every country in the world. Its discovery was instrumental in the treatment of large quantities of wastewater and ultimately allowed the population of Manchester and urban areas across the world to expand more rapidly. Davyhulme is now one of the largest sewage treatment works in Europe. Where once sewage sludge was loaded on to boats and dumped in the Irish Sea, it is now put through a high temperature treatment process that generates methane gas to provide energy for the site and fertilisers which can be used in agriculture. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9e05cc5a342c6e2e818f53735a88e142_hd.jpg Spring and Pump House, Fulking Spring water runs into this stone basin next to a Victorian pump house in the village of Fulking. The water was initially used as a sheep wash by local shepherds, but was later harnessed to provide a piped water supply for the village around 1886. The system supplied Fulking with piped water until mains water arrived in 1951. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/3f5d14ec987c763da06b592025e41e5d_hd.jpg Sewage Hoppers, Manchester Shipping Canal Sewage sludge used to be loaded onto barges on the Manchester Shipping Canal next to Davyhulme Treatment works.

The treated water is pumped out to sea via a new 2.5km sea outfall. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a931abea2f5f481978dd7ed5e8de3932_hd.jpg Blessing Ceremony of Hands Well, Tissington, Derbyshire The true origins of well dressing are unknown. According to many sources, it developed from a pagan custom of making sacriﬁce to the gods of wells and springs to ensure a continued supply of fresh water. It was later adopted by the Christian church as a way of giving thanks to God for the gift of water. One theory suggests that the custom began just after the Black Death of 1348-9. Tissington managed to escape the plague and it became the custom to decorate the wells in thanksgiving. Another tradition recalls the severe drought of 1615, when many cattle perished and crops were lost. The ﬁve wells of Tissington continued to ﬂow freely and a thanksgiving service was held and the wells were decorated each year in celebration. In the early days, the dressing of wells would have taken the form of simple arrangements of ﬂowers and other natural materials. The tradition of elaborate pictures made primarily from individual ﬂower petals pressed onto clay covered boards seems to date from Victorian times, when there was a desire to revive and enhance old folk traditions. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/0b93345d2bc71ae697b878991b4bba62_hd.jpg Living Roof, Peacehaven Wastewater Treatment Works A railing marks the edge of an 18,000 m2 living roof that covers much of the treatment works and helps to blend the buildings into the landscape.

One of his many deeds there was to sink a well in 1831 to aid a local community. When Mr Reade ﬁnally left the region in 1860, he asked the Maharajah to ensure that the well remained open to the public. A couple of years later the Maharajah decided on an endowment in England. He remembered Mr Reade’s generosity in 1831 and also recalled his stories of water deprivation in his home area of Ipsden and the story of a little boy who was beaten by his mother for drinking the last of the water in their house during a drought. So it was decided that a new well would be sunk at the village of Stoke Row. It was dug by hand to a depth of 368 feet – more than twice the height of Nelson’s Column – and took about a year to build. It was opened oﬃcially on Queen Victoria’s birthday in 1864 and became the ﬁrst of several wells funded in the region by royals and other benefactors from India. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/433b89c2dbba26586b03307e81eab142_hd.jpg The Drier, Peacehaven Wastewater Treatment Works Wastewater sludge is heated to over 400°C to remove 95% of remaining water.

There are myriads of dirty things given it to wash, and whole waggon-loads of poisons from dye-houses and bleachyards thrown into it to carry away; steamboilers discharge into it their seething contents, and drains and sewers their fetid impurities; till at length it rolls on – here between tall dingy walls, there under precipices of red sandstone – considerably less a river than a ﬂ ood of liquid manure, in which all life dies, whether animal or vegetable, and which resembles nothing in nature, except, perhaps, the stream thrown out in eruption by some mud-volcano.” Hugh Miller describing the River Irwell in his book First Impressions: England and its People (1847) https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/213e875116436dac7ac280a3bc83fda6_hd.jpg Marine Drive Pumping Station, Roedean This new pumping station was built as part of a £300m improvement programme by Southern Water to meet EU wastewater regulations. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/916a78c6395dbcdeee800d896d56da3e_hd.jpg River Medlock, Central Manchester Upstream from Manchester the Medlock was crucial for the mills and dye works that lined its banks – it was a source of water and power and an outlet for industrial quantities of sewage and eﬄuent and other unwanted by-products. Fetid and polluted, the Medlock regularly ﬂooded in high rains, spreading ﬁlth into slums areas – such as ‘Little Ireland’ – that were built on its banks. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/dcf2c618372fa55f9769cdc3e29a007b_hd.jpg Victorian Sewers, Brighton. Built between 1871 and 1874, these sewers were designed to cope with the rapid population growth of Brighton & Hove and to direct sewage away from the city’s beaches and bathing areas. The sewers are still in use and have an estimated lifespan of 500 years. Sewer tours have been running since 1956 and continue today. They help educate visitors about where their sewage ends up and about what not to put down their toilets and drains. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/54dc42743f4e93650b568e81c0b21a5d_hd.jpg River Irwell, Manchester “Anybody who stands today in the City of Manchester outside the Exchange Station and looks down at the noisome black water which ﬂows beneath him would ﬁnd it diﬃcult to believe that any ﬁsh, or any other living creature, could ever have lived in what the ‘Manchester Guardian’ has so rightly called that 'melancholy stream’. From many points of view we should all be proud of the River Irwell. It is the hardest working river in the whole of the United Kingdom. On the 50-mile stretch of the River Irwell and its main tributary, the Roach, stand more than 100 cotton mills, in addition to a large number of other industrial undertakings – slipper factories, bleach works, coal mines, tanneries, paper mills and gas works. I think it is true to say that no other inland river has made a greater contribution to the industrial greatness of this country.” Anthony Greenwood, Member of Parliament for Rossendale.

That’s an awful lot of water! We’ve cut that down by over two thirds.” By installing a more efficient flushing system for the venue’s urinals, the Brighton Centre is saving an estimated 13,000 litres of water a day. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/f5a08a2724822f4277d31e6cdaff51a9_hd.jpg River Irk, Central Manchester This Irk was one of the main arteries of early industrial Manchester. By the early 19th century its banks were lined with fulling mills, dye works, chemical factories, abattoirs and tanneries. It was an open drain for both industrial and domestic waste. Friedrich Engels described it in 1845: “At the bottom [of the channel] ﬂows, or rather stagnates, the Irk, a narrow, coal-black, foul-smelling stream, full of debris and refuse, which it deposits on the lower right bank. In any weather, a long string of the most disgusting blackish green slime pools are left standing on this bank, from the depths of which bubbles of miasmatic gas constantly arise and give forth a stench unendurable.” Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845) https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/3e15cc2d076cc363cdaeb1d215175643_hd.jpg David Taylor, Housedean Farm “The soil on the Downs is inherently poor and drought prone. Because of its low fertility, it requires quite a lot of fertiliser to produce an economic crop.” In an attempt to limit the amount of fertiliser entering the groundwater, David was asked to take part in a soil mapping initiative funded by the Environment Agency. Soil samples were taken from every hectare of his farm. The results were used to create a detailed fertility map, showing the levels of nutrients across the land. The data was then combined with GPS co-ordinates, so fertiliser can be automatically applied by the tractor at the correct levels, depending on where the soil is nutrient rich or poor. David rents 900 acres of farm land from Brighton & Hove City Council. Brighton Council began buying up land around the city in the 1890’s to protect the Downs from over development, and to preserve the valuable water catchment. The Council now owns 11,000 acres of farm land. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/f3e024c4127a8b1e5c9ba99731433e6e_hd.jpg River Irk, Central Manchester “The Irk, black with the refuse of dye-works erected on its banks, receives excrementitious matters from some sewers in this portion of the town – the drainage from the gasworks, and ﬁlth of the most pernicious character from the bone works, tanneries, size manufactories etc. Immediately beneath Ducie-Bridge, in a deep hollow between two high banks, it sweeps round a large cluster of some of the most wretched and dilapidated buildings of the town. The course of the river is here impeded by a weir, and a large tannery eight stories high… towers close to this crazy labyrinth of pauper dwellings. This group of habitations is called ‘Gibraltar’, and no site can well be more insalubrious than that on which it is built.” Description by Dr James Phillips Kay (1832) https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/25743ddbd635b4fa842fc1b63addfd81_hd.jpg John Fryer, Whitehawk Community Food Project “We collect rainwater, partly to be free from dependency on mains water, but primarily it’s to do with the fact that plants prefer rainwater to tap water. When we water plants with rainwater they respond much more vigorously and happily, than they do with tap water.” Founded in 1996, the Whitehawk Community Food Project is based on a 1 acre allotment on Whitehawk Hill, East Brighton. They harvest rainwater on all their roofs and store it in large tanks at the top of the allotment. This then flows downhill to water butts throughout the site from which they water the plants by hand with watering cans and buckets. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/e0a684ca200fe2dd806db8254fc316f7_hd.jpg River Irk, Collyhurst, Manchester https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/97884e0f8f9687fc25a5f58ffeb3e1bf_hd.jpg Chris Toureau, Design Technology & Irrigation (DTI-r) DTI-r is an intellectual development company based in Poynings. The company has developed an innovative new use for a membrane material made by DuPont. When irrigation pipes are lined with the membrane they can be filled with almost any type of unpurified water - saline, polluted, or wastewater. The membrane allows water vapor - which cannot carry salts - to diffuse through the pipe walls, while the contaminants are retained within the pipes. This process is known as pervaporation. Chris has spent four months working at NASA testing the membrane to see if it could be used in the future for water recycling on the International Space Station. The membrane has many other possible applications such as the development of agriculture on previously non-arable land and in disaster relief situations. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/5f573c34e50ca14aad2b364ce9978685_hd.jpg River Medlock, Manchester https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/b5d2adc88e81b5df292ebd72f814aad2_hd.jpg Liam Goodwin (L) and Kevin MacFarlane (R), Meter Installation Team. Southern Water is installing over 75,000 water meters in Brighton & Hove as part of a multimillion pound initiative to get their customers to use less water.

It was widely viewed as one of the worst places to live in the city. Houses which were ﬁrst intended as modest middle class residences had been taken over by industrial workers and there was unplanned, opportunistic building on the space available around and between the factories and mills. Poor ventilation and sanitation led to them being regarded as centres of infectious disease and they became the target of urban sanitary reformers. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9f474bb46144545a982a719e07ce8943_hd.jpg Cascade Dam, Bevendean.

Many of those buried there were victims of the typhoid outbreak in 1830 and cholera epidemic of 1831-32. The burial ground was bought in 1839 by the Manchester and Leeds Railway and Victoria station was constructed on top of it. The German writer, Friedrich Engels witnessed the arrival of the railway and recorded his experience: “About two years ago a railroad was carried through. If it had been a respectable cemetery how the bourgeoisie and the clergy would have shrieked at the desecration! But it was a pauper burial ground, the resting place of the outcast and superﬂuous, so no one concerned himself about the matter. It was not even thought worth-while to convey the partially decayed bodies to the other side of the cemetery; they were heaped up just as it happened, and piles were driven into newly-made graves, so that the water oozed out of the swampy ground, pregnant with putrefying matter, and ﬁlled the neighbourhood with the most revolting and injurious gases. The disgusting brutality which accompanied this work I cannot describe in further detail.” From The Condition of the Working Class in England (1845) https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/6561c4a3127fb7650148ed91fdda109c_hd.jpg Charlie Brock, Brighton & Newhaven Fish Sales “We like to focus on bringing to the forefront of people's minds how many different species there are in the sea. We tend to focus on salmon, tuna, cod and haddock as a staple diet in the UK, and don’t look at the lesser species, that we all know in the industry are brilliant to eat; Gurnards, Pout Whitings, Pollocks, Wrasse.

When relatives opened the coﬃn of an already buried cholera victim (a four-year-old Irish boy) and found that the head had been replaced by a brick, it conﬁrmed their worst fears. On 2 September 1832 a crowd of up to 3,000 gathered and marched upon the Swan Street Cholera Hospital, demolished parts of the building, broke windows, damaged beds and released many of the patients. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a0ad44cc4848dafbcacec0fc70a7c232_hd.jpg Staff Sorting Fish at Brighton & Newhaven Fish Sales BNFS is based at the eastern end of Shoreham Harbour.

Its population grew rapidly in the mid 19th century and was predominantly made up of Irish who had ﬂed the Great Famine to ﬁnd work in industrial Manchester. They lived in appalling conditions, often several families living in a dark and damp cellar. “Angel Meadow certainly did not live up to its name! It was described in the early 19th century as over-crowded, ﬁlthy and squalid. With a combination of a poor water supply and a lack of sewers, the area was ripe for the spread of cholera.” Paul Hindle, Senior Lecturer in Geography at the University of Salford for 30 years (retired) and the Honorary Secretary of the Manchester Geographical Society https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/0dd88f86174c520088c5b90d5361ea56_hd.jpg Martin Eade, Coast Protection Engineer, Brighton & Hove City Council. Martin Eade and a team of engineers have recently completed a study on coastal erosion and risk management for the coastline between Brighton Marina and the River Adur for the next 100 years. With the climate changing, sea levels rising and increased frequency and intensity of storms, the existing coastal defences are under increasing threat. As a result of the study, a programme of future improvements works will be implemented to make the coast defences capable of withstanding a 1 in 200 year storm event. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/29445584c34d167b63a3260d84c39a75_hd.jpg 68 Dean Street, Soho, London In the early 18th century – when there were virtually no links to common sewers – cesspits, sumps and soakaways were to be found in most large houses across aﬄuent central London and Westminster. Almost all were destroyed or obscured when connections to sewers were installed during the mid 19th century. 68 Dean Street in Soho is thought to be the only early Georgian house left in London where both the family and servant’s cesspit can be seen. Archaeological studies estimate that they were built c.1734 and were in use until c.1862. This family cesspit is located in a basement vault at the rear of 68 Dean Street. The cesspit was connected, via a brick-built, tile-lined chute (since removed), to a family privy located in the back yard above (see next image). There is evidence that the cesspit originally had a brick domed top incorporating an opening to allow it to be emptied occasionally by ‘night soil men’. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/ed5a3846b9db466b15dc06ce2d52d67b_hd.jpg Groyne and Shingle Beach, Hove The coast between the river Adur in the west and Brighton Marina in the east, is called a ‘closed cell’. Any shingle arriving at the western end is brought by the process of ‘longshore drift’ along to the eastern end. This means that the beaches in the east get bigger, and the ones in the west gradually get smaller. To manage this, shingle must be periodically replaced at the western end. The role of groynes is to stop shingle moving along at the speed it wants to move, and to accumulate it between groynes, as beaches. By absorbing large amounts of wave energy like a sponge, the shingle beaches are a vital part of coastal defence. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/d25af092ffcc8575823a9fdb70bc945a_hd.jpg Family privy, 68 Dean Street, Soho, London. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/055d81449ef18df581451f8eed0177ab_hd.jpg Undercliff Walk, East Brighton The Undercliff Walk and sea wall were built between 1928 and 1935 and run from Black Rock to Saltdean. The wall protects the foot of the cliffs from erosion and groynes help maintain the shingle beaches. These defences have been gradually renewed and improved over the last 15-20 years. Through researching the formations contained within the cliffs, geologists are able to reconstruct and further understand climate change and sea level rise in the past. The cliffs are protected by a number of designations including Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/349c06f6f8ad1dea3d5cddae814b29ba_hd.jpg Servants' cesspit, 68 Dean Street, Soho, London This servants’ cesspit is located at the front of the house in a vault underneath the road on Dean Street. It is thought that servants would have used a potty to have transferred their waste to the cesspit. There was also an opening onto the street above to allow servants to wash down the pavement and road in front of the house and drain the water into the cesspit below. Liquids drained primarily into a small early 18th century sewer visible at the bottom of the rear wall. However, when the pit was unearthed in 1997, archaeological investigations appeared to reveal that the bricks had little or no bonding material. This may have allowed some of the cesspit’s contents to disperse into the surrounding sands and gravel. The size and shape of the cesspit is thought to have helped increase the structural strength and prevent collapse from water pressure exerted by the surrounding earth. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/b18cc1b5d712f6f8905af49ac116429d_hd.jpg Chalk Wave-Cut Platform, East Brighton A chalk wave-cut platform runs east from Brighton Marina to Newhaven.

By the start of the 19th century, enough waste and pollution had accumulated there to make it the most contaminated river in the world. Although the deterioration of the Thames was noticeable before the onset of the Industrial Revolution, it was a heatwave during the summer of 1858 that ﬁnally brought it to the attention of the government. That summer, all of the sewage in the Thames began to ferment – centuries of waste began to release a noxious and oﬀensive stench. Members of Parliament tried at ﬁrst to ignore the stink and continue their sessions without agreeing to any drastic plans of reform. They knew full well that there was no easy solution to clean up the river and rid it of its smell. Instead they installed heavy curtains – soaked in chloride and lime – in the windows of the Houses of Parliament, in an attempt to relieve their own senses of the stench but also through a misguided fear that disease was spread through miasma or ‘bad air’. Ultimately it was the proximity of the Houses of Parliament on the River Thames that meant that MPs could not ignore the problem and forced them to take immediate action. Within a record 18 days, a bill was created, passed, and signed into law that would refurbish the entirety of the River Thames and lead to Sir Joseph Bazalgette’s visionary sewerage system that is still in use today. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/c967cc1d170a52c9ce31ceccd774156c_hd.jpg Western Breakwater, Brighton Marina Brighton Marina is well protected from the English Channel by two long breakwaters.

During more than 600 years Londoners used the river ﬂowing under the bridge to take away all kinds of waste, including sewage. Over the years various public and private latrines were constructed to hang over the river, so that their contents could be discharged directly into the water below.

It was o ﬃcially opened by the Prince of Wales in April 1865. There were two halves to Bazalgette’s sewerage system, north and south of the River Thames. The broad principle was to get the sewage to the east of London, store it in reservoirs until high tide and then release it. On each side of the Thames, three intercepting sewers diverted sewage away from the river and lead it, by gravity where possible, or by pumping where necessary, towards the outfalls at Beckton on the north and Crossness on the south. At each outfall, reservoirs enabled the sewage to be stored until high tide and then discharged into the river. The Beam Engine House at Crossness is constructed in Romanesque style and features some of the most spectacular ornamental Victorian cast iron-work to be found today. It contains the four original pumping engines, which are possibly the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52 ton ﬂywheels and 47 ton beams. The old steam engines were decommissioned in 1913 and replaced with diesel engines, which were in service until Crossness was closed in 1956. The Crossness Engines Trust was set up in 1987 to restore this unique part of Britain’s industrial heritage. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/16eae0e1cac9390e1c0399f1acaf5e92_hd.jpg Central Octagon and Main Beam Floor, Crossness Pumping Station, Abbey Wood, London https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/90bd2a510415398989784ce766ae634b_hd.jpg Morelands and Riverdale building c.1900 Reproduced with kind permission of The London Museum of Water and Steam and Thames Water. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9129eb26ff086c72cdd1d134cb8014aa_hd.jpg Morelands & Riverdale Building, Hampton WaterWorks, London. The Hampton Waterworks were formed in 1855 in response to the London cholera epidemics of the early 19th century. The water engineer Joseph Quick had the idea to extract water away from the polluted tidal Thames up river from the Teddington and Molsley locks. Quick created a series of ﬁlter beds next to the river and three new pumping stations, for three diﬀerent water companies. Water was pumped by steam-powered engines up to distant reservoirs and other pumping stations in the capital through large, buried brick culverts and later cast iron pipes. As London’s population grew, demand for water rapidly increased. As a result the Hampton site was expanded by Sir James Restler, the Chief Engineer to the Southwark and Vauxhall Water Company. The Morelands building (far left) was completed in 1886 and the Riverdale building (right) followed in 1897. Both buildings contained huge steam-powered rotative engines fed around the clock with coal. The engines pumped a large proportion of the water to London and were some of the most eﬃcient designs of their time. In 2012 Thames Water sold the Morelands and Riverdale buildings. It still owns and operates all the water ﬁlter beds seen in front of the buildings. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/feca7a159280b6cf21d1d4406b125d4c_hd.jpg Riverdale Engine House c.1900 Reproduced with kind permission of The London Museum of Water and Steam and Thames Water. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/968450884f34d2c79c711af5dab9077b_hd.jpg Riverdale Engine House, Morelands-Riverdale, Hampton, London The Riverdale engine house became operational in 1897 and ceased pumping in the 1960s. It is currently being refurbished by Blackbottle, the new owners of the Morelands and Riverdale buildings. “The intention for the site’s future is to create a small scientiﬁ c community which will be inspired by its surroundings. Many modern laboratory facilities where some of our best minds work are unfortunately lacking in inspirational spirit. So the poignancy of beneﬁ cial scientiﬁ c research taking place in these ﬁ ne buildings – that were originally created to improve London’s public health – is not wholly accidental; they simply seem to suit this use. The buildings are infused with the Victorian spirit of virtuosity, innovation and ambition and the scale and detail of the original architecture eﬀ ortlessly lends itself to a new 21st century use. The pump houses and boiler houses had extraordinarily broad roof-spans for the time, which provided vast, open plan interiors and since they originally contained many large moving parts, they are intensely lit with enormous windows and lanterns. So it’s possible for us to create lighter, glazed buildings within buildings, set-back from the original walls and windows to provide the sense of heritage, space and plentiful daylight that aid bright ideas.” Belu, designer for Morelands-Riverdale https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/7c8f41ed5579436d86925ac8f671b96b_hd.jpg Basement of Riverdale Engine House https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/1b963d47f1b5d55bdf38d75555f1df40_hd.jpg Lydia Zigomo, Head of East Africa Region, WaterAid. Fleet Sewer, London London’s sewers were a magniﬁcent feat of civil engineering which, despite being built more that 150 years ago, continue to serve London’s inhabitants. Fair and equitable access to good sanitation is something most of us take for granted; we can’t imagine a situation in which some citizens have access to taps and toilets while others don’t. Lydia Zigomo, WaterAid’s Head of East Africa Region knows only too well that this is not the case for too many of the world’s poorest people. Having worked previously as a human rights lawyer, Lydia, who is originally from Zimbabwe, now champions equity and inclusion at WaterAid to ensure that everyone has sustainable access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. Increasingly WaterAid’s work focuses on those who are most marginalised and vulnerable to unsafe water and sanitation: women, girls, children in and out of school, and elderly and disabled people. “Seeing the incredible work that went into building the original London sewer network conﬁrms to me that it takes vision, investment, political will and long-term planning to provide vital sanitation for all. We take for granted the fact that our waste is taken away from our homes, schools and offices to be dealt with and treated. Everyone should have similar access to toilets and good sanitation.” https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a4ec61134509a95b3c9f2362f08e3b89_hd.jpg Sir Tony Robinson, actor, writer, broadcaster and historian My family have lived along the River Lea for over 300 years. This may sound a long time, but in fact the Lea has been an artery of London life since the Romans settled here. It begins as a trickle in Luton and eventually joins the Thames at Docklands. It’s a cunning, complicated river which fractures into complex networks of smaller waterways. It has a proud industrial history starting way back before the Tudors with a system of massive medieval tidal mills. By the twentieth century there were factories all along its banks, and modern industries too like electronics. Ferguson and Amstrad started here – indeed some historians have called it London’s ‘Silicon Valley’! But with all this development going on, the river itself was getting ﬁlthier. People ignored it: it was as if it no longer existed. It was known locally as ‘The West Ham Dump’. The word Lea gives its name to Luton and Leyton. It actually means ‘bright’, but when I was a child it ﬂ owed a diﬀ erent colour every week, depending on what the factories were pumping out. Eton College set up a charity here for the local communities, encouraging working class children to adopt a healthier lifestyle. They held a swimming contest every Christmas – the fastest child won a turkey. It was the unhealthiest competition imaginable! The Olympics brought life back to this area – London 2012 truly was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform the valley and the river itself. But we can’t become complacent about our water systems or take a clean, safe water supply for granted. The Lea still has massive pollution problems, and a huge act of human will is required to solve them. We have a responsibility to look after our ‘Bright River’ for generations to come, and to do what we can to make sure others around the world can enjoy similar benefits from their rivers and streams. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/185e87306c3021fcc5627b3b193585b3_hd.jpg Hugh Bonneville, actor and WaterAid Ambassador “A sewage works in south-east London may not sound like the most glamorous of landmarks but Crossness Pumping Station is something special. Once described as a ‘cathedral on the marsh’, its unremarkable exterior conceals truly spectacular Victorian ornamental cast ironwork and mighty pumping systems, which are currently being restored to their former glory by a group of dedicated volunteers. Crossness is a testament to the groundbreaking engineering that played a signiﬁcant role in improving the health of Victorian Londoners and helped create the thriving capital city of today. Back in the 19th century, London’s sewage ran through the streets, carrying deadly diseases into the very river on which its population depended for drinking water. The problem reached crisis point in the ‘Great Stink’ of 1858, when the smell of untreated human waste and industrial eﬄuent became unbearable for MPs in the chamber at Westminster. They ﬁ nally took action, commissioning Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer to the Metropolitan Commission for Sewers, to develop a solution for the sanitation crisis. In just eight years, the London sewer system was complete and waste water south of the river was channeled underground to Crossness, where it was stored in covered reservoirs until high tide before being discharged into the River Thames and away from the city. The result was a life-saving development that ensured proper sanitation across London, reducing contaminated water sources and helping to eliminate water-borne diseases, such as cholera, which regularly plagued the city. As an Ambassador for WaterAid, I’ve learned how many of the problems faced by Londoners 150 years ago remain a daily reality for millions of the world’s poorest people. Yet history has proved that with political will and straightforward engineering it is possible for everyone everywhere, to have access to clean water and improved sanitation. If it could be achieved in London in the 1860s, then we can deﬁnitely make it happen today, right around the world.” https://www.thomasballphoto.com/sustainable-water 2018-02-10 weekly 0.5 https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/cb2316c5d63bf4203838a384fd7fd9a6_hd.jpg Spring at Poynings. There are no rivers running through Brighton and Hove. However, you can find fresh water bubbling to the surface along a line of springs just north of the city. This gently flowing river is fed by a spring at the foot of the Devil’s Dyke Combe. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9e6ccba2dbfd5318b72aa3f19ddfe757_hd.jpg Water Supply Works, East Brighton Brighton and Hove’s drinking water is sourced entirely from 13 boreholes sunk into the chalk aquifer beneath the city and the Downs. Water stored up in the aquifer during the winter months, is vital for supplying the city during the summer when demand peaks. Southern Water must carefully monitor ground water levels so as not to abstract too much water in any one area and to prevent salt water intrusion into boreholes located closer to the sea. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/92a4c0a5ad3a27c7e014113a1ae07f0b_hd.jpg Water Supply Works, East Brighton This water supply works and pumping station in East Brighton was built in 1932. It has 3 boreholes that currently supply 12.9m litres per day, just over 10% of Brighton & Hove and the surrounding area’s water. All the boreholes sit within the main chalk aquifer, and water is abstracted through a system of horizontal tunnels or ‘adits’ - many of which were hand dug - that intercept water flowing through the fractured rock. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9e10db98a45f840ebbf5d66fb7c5233a_hd.jpg Control Room, Water Supply Works near Lewes. This water supply works was built in 1955. It supplies approximately 11.5m litres per day. These machines monitor and control the output from the borehole. They are linked to a regional control centre so they can be operated remotely. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/594786452a49dfb46ffcef4f8bc3bac3_hd.jpg Donkey Wheel Well, Saddlescombe Farm. Saddlescombe is located on top of the Downs chalk, where the water table lies 45m below ground level. Three separate water systems were installed at the farm during the Victorian era. A donkey wheel well (built in 1855) pumped fresh water from the chalk aquifer; rainwater was collected on most of the farm roof tops and fed into underground storage tanks; and any surface waters running off the farm flowed into a drainage system, through sediment traps and then directed into a leak ditch and spilt across crops in nearby fields. Saddlescombe Farm was bought by Brighton Council in the 1930’s to help protect the Downs and the vital water catchment which supplied the city with its drinking water. The farm was acquired by the National Trust in 1995. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9ac3bdc4b03d1e632afe200c9d0ac15c_hd.jpg Rainwater Catch, Stanmer Park John Lawrance of The Stanmer Preservation Society, standing on a rainwater ‘catch’ built for the Earl of Chichester between 1870-1875 to supply drinking water to Stanmer House. When rain fell on the concrete and flint catch, it flowed downhill to a basin at the foot of the hill. The water was then filtered through sand and charcoal and then fed into large storage tanks under the grounds of Stanmer House. Each cottage in Stanmer village also collected rainwater on the roof, which was then filtered and stored for drinking water. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/10417c8644c78a41188e724da34584b0_hd.jpg Rainwater Harvesting System, Jubilee Library Les Pawlack (left) and Bob Fletcher (right) working on the rainwater harvesting system on the roof of The Jubilee library.

Built between 1871 and 1874, these sewers were designed to cope with the rapid population growth of Brighton & Hove and to direct sewage away from the city’s beaches and bathing areas. The sewers are still in use and have an estimated lifespan of 500 years. Sewer tours have been running since 1956 and continue today. They help educate visitors about where their sewage ends up and about what not to put down their toilets and drains. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/624369ab440da178ee57121e0b77684f_hd.jpg Ian Hardy, Buildings Manager at The Brighton Centre “We had 96 urinals flushing every 20 minutes in this building.

Because of its low fertility, it requires quite a lot of fertiliser to produce an economic crop.” In an attempt to limit the amount of fertiliser entering the groundwater, David was asked to take part in a soil mapping initiative funded by the Environment Agency. Soil samples were taken from every hectare of his farm. The results were used to create a detailed fertility map, showing the levels of nutrients across the land. The data was then combined with GPS co-ordinates, so fertiliser can be automatically applied by the tractor at the correct levels, depending on where the soil is nutrient rich or poor. David rents 900 acres of farm land from Brighton & Hove City Council. Brighton Council began buying up land around the city in the 1890’s to protect the Downs from over development, and to preserve the valuable water catchment. The Council now owns 11,000 acres of farm land. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/25743ddbd635b4fa842fc1b63addfd81_hd.jpg John Fryer, Whitehawk Community Food Project “We collect rainwater, partly to be free from dependency on mains water, but primarily it’s to do with the fact that plants prefer rainwater to tap water. When we water plants with rainwater they respond much more vigorously and happily, than they do with tap water.” Founded in 1996, the Whitehawk Community Food Project is based on a 1 acre allotment on Whitehawk Hill, East Brighton. They harvest rainwater on all their roofs and store it in large tanks at the top of the allotment. This then flows downhill to water butts throughout the site from which they water the plants by hand with watering cans and buckets. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/97884e0f8f9687fc25a5f58ffeb3e1bf_hd.jpg Chris Toureau, Design Technology & Irrigation (DTI-r) DTI-r is an intellectual development company based in Poynings. The company has developed an innovative new use for a membrane material made by DuPont. When irrigation pipes are lined with the membrane they can be filled with almost any type of unpurified water - saline, polluted, or wastewater. The membrane allows water vapor - which cannot carry salts - to diffuse through the pipe walls, while the contaminants are retained within the pipes. This process is known as pervaporation. Chris has spent four months working at NASA testing the membrane to see if it could be used in the future for water recycling on the International Space Station. The membrane has many other possible applications such as the development of agriculture on previously non-arable land and in disaster relief situations. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/b5d2adc88e81b5df292ebd72f814aad2_hd.jpg Liam Goodwin (L) and Kevin MacFarlane (R), Meter Installation Team.

Martin Eade and a team of engineers have recently completed a study on coastal erosion and risk management for the coastline between Brighton Marina and the River Adur for the next 100 years. With the climate changing, sea levels rising and increased frequency and intensity of storms, the existing coastal defences are under increasing threat. As a result of the study, a programme of future improvements works will be implemented to make the coast defences capable of withstanding a 1 in 200 year storm event. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/ed5a3846b9db466b15dc06ce2d52d67b_hd.jpg Groyne and Shingle Beach, Hove The coast between the river Adur in the west and Brighton Marina in the east, is called a ‘closed cell’. Any shingle arriving at the western end is brought by the process of ‘longshore drift’ along to the eastern end. This means that the beaches in the east get bigger, and the ones in the west gradually get smaller. To manage this, shingle must be periodically replaced at the western end. The role of groynes is to stop shingle moving along at the speed it wants to move, and to accumulate it between groynes, as beaches. By absorbing large amounts of wave energy like a sponge, the shingle beaches are a vital part of coastal defence. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/055d81449ef18df581451f8eed0177ab_hd.jpg Undercliff Walk, East Brighton The Undercliff Walk and sea wall were built between 1928 and 1935 and run from Black Rock to Saltdean. The wall protects the foot of the cliffs from erosion and groynes help maintain the shingle beaches. These defences have been gradually renewed and improved over the last 15-20 years. Through researching the formations contained within the cliffs, geologists are able to reconstruct and further understand climate change and sea level rise in the past.

Retired joiner. When he started developing severe fatigue and body pains in his late forties, he initially thought he had developed ME. After 8 years of analysing his symptoms, he concluded that he was in fact suffering from electrosensitivity. He is photographed in his sitting room where he has fitted a silver coated netting over the window, which reduces the strength of electromagnetic fields. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/233f9da1744d1eac33796155142aea05_hd.jpg Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, London Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, Belsize Park, London. She has run a series of magazines and websites for twenty years covering issues related to food allergy and intolerance. Her electrosensitivity began after heavy use of mobile phones and CRT computer monitors for work. She is now also affected by wi-fi and has insulated much of her home. She is photographed wearing a jacket made from a silver coated material which reduces the strength of electromagnetic fields. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/c61cb35e7cdedcd352c4b560e1af8199_hd.jpg Hannah Metcalfe, Kent Hannah suffered from psoriasis as a child and started sun bed treatment at the age of 9, to help clear up her skin. In her late twenties, she started developing severe migraines and fatigue when working in offices with fluorescent lights. She always felt discomfort when using a mobile phone. The severity of her symptoms got worse when she later discovered a sensitivity to wi-fi. As a result of her sensitivities Hannah gave up her job as a trainee criminal solicitor in 2010 and now lives with her husband and two children on a farm in Kent. "When I realised that wi-fi was making me ill, and I also turned off the digital phone; so [there] was nothing wireless in the house, I just went from feeling like this sluggish person, to feeling so vibrant and alive, with so much energy. Just amazing to feel well." https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a756c3b5ca01a7cf789124a98f3c9ce3_hd.jpg Acoustimeter An acoustimeter emits a sounds when it detects an electromagnetic field.

Photographed in Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucesterhsire. Freda's first symptoms of electrosensitivity began in 1999 while using computers and CRT monitors at school. The condition became so severe over time that she had to give up her job. She is now also affected by mobile phones and wi-fi and spends extended periods of time away in her 'lifeboat van' so she can escape the electromagnetic fields at home. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/47949c41c2de9ff1c4e959e9cedfc289_hd.jpg Jenny Layton, Totnes Jenny Layton. Devon (UK) When Jenny developed unexplained headaches, tinnitus, heart palpitations and insomnia, her doctors were at a loss as to the cause. After months of researching, she attributed her symptoms to a new neighbour's wi-fi next door. People who suffer from electrosensitivity in towns and cities often have to ask their neighbours whether they are willing to move or switch off their wireless routers and cordless phones. The responses can range from sympathy to outright refusal. She is photographed at a friend’s home on the edge of town. She felt more at ease here away from the ‘electro-smog’. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a8407a30a2a9935d2b94b1df55454287_hd.jpg Steve Miller. Record Producer, Cornwall. His electrosensitivity has forced him to radically change his lifestyle and to give up touring almost entirely, as most public spaces have wi-fi, which makes him very unwell. “I went to see a friend of mine who's surrounded in Falmouth by student flats and got wi-fi coming in from all directions. I put up with it for a while because I thought, I'm being rude, there's something other than this, something's wrong with me. And by the time I actually managed to leave, I staggered out of the building, couldn't drive for an hour, I didn't feel safe to drive, and then felt absolutely rotten for next two days. It was at that point I spoke to a GP about it and he said you're probably electrosensitive to pulsed microwave radiation which is, wireless, phone masts, mobile phones, cordless phones” https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/4fc95eb17dbd1c3810e59ad0c0cfd4ee_hd.jpg Clare Woodward, Devon. Clare worked as a computer programmer for 9 years and then later re-trained as a complementary therapist. When her family moved into a new house in Devon, she began suffering from insomnia and heart palpitations, which she attributed to a mobile phone and TETRA mast very close by. They have since insulated their home at great expense with carbon paint and specialist windows. TETRA - Terrestrial Trunked Radio, is a powerful 2-way radio system primarily used by the emergency services. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9d6ffce5de806af3d811d2af43f49e66_hd.jpg Michael Bevington, Stowe School, Buckinghamshire Michael has been a Classics teacher for 34 years. In 2006, the school had wi-fi fitted in his classroom. He immediately developed symptoms of severe headache and heart palpitations. As he had been working in the same classroom for many years without any ill-health, he was able to quickly attribute his symptoms to the wi-fi. He asked the school for it to be removed and returned to a wired connection instead, and his symptoms at work went away. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/1c653deba9227c31f124c2ecb24824ad_hd.jpg Mobile phone mast, NW London https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/7d486e1a8b4de70738e2a37af5990307_hd.jpg Aluminium Foil Frequently used for localised small-scale shielding. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/86e269cf2bf7a0b02fa9cfeaa247e9a9_hd.jpg Foil on Wall Common kitchen foil is often used by sufferers to insulate themselves against electromagnetic fields.

She didn’t identify herself as electrosensitive until wi-fi was fitted at her school. "I had put off having a mobile phone for years. I'm not phobic or anti technology but I just knew it didn't suit me physically, because mobiles made my ear hurt and made my head feel numb. Cordless [phones] are even worse. If I'd spent too long around computers, I'd feel very tired, and fuzzy headed. But nothing that I couldn't cope with. I'd just accepted it was part of modern life and you've just got to get on with it. When we moved into a new building, there was this massive influx of technology and I started to feel ill, almost from the day we moved in." https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/68d10d7c83c1e95cf8d0c3ea646bf4cf_hd.jpg Damian May (44), Reading. Damian is a cabinet maker and runs a property maintenance business. He discovered he suffered from electrosensitivity after buying a Nintendo Wii for his family for Christmas. It triggered severe headaches and body pains. His electrosensitivity has made it very difficult for him to run his company as he finds it painful to work in areas with wi-fi or mobile phones. He has turned off everything wireless in his home, has insulated his office and is campaigning to have wi-fi removed from his son's school. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/6bac60bdf97e88c44aac3534161d0b5d_hd.jpg Raphael Cuesto, London In 2004, while working for a telecommunications company in Kuala Lumpur, Raphael noticed that he was developing pains in his arms and hands every time he worked on his laptop. His symptoms got worse and he began getting headaches and heart palpitations from using his mobile for only a few minutes, and this progressed to almost immediate pain when he brought the phone near his head. He decided to stop using his mobile altogether and left his job in the telecoms industry. He is now a teacher and lives in London. "when you spend a minute on the phone and get palpitations, you know you have to do something about it. I remember one day turning [over] a piece of paper and writing in the middle of the page 'jobs without a mobile phone'. I had to change everything." https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/ac04458a2ddc0bd1a04d6d86c2ad4f56_hd.jpg Contrary to popular perception, many EHS sufferers regularly use the internet.

Talking about EHS cases in Sweden... "From the very beginning, it was said that this was just a post menopausal problem in women. Then men started to report electro-hypersensitivity, and the self-proclaimed experts said 'it's actually only elderly [people], because they are afraid of new technology.' We then started to get children and teenagers and young people, and they rolled out a new explanation, which was that 'it's actually people with higher education.' And it went on like this, but today you can see that any political colour, any income class, both sexes, all age groups, are affected." https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/89ca3fcf98240da099b56e3b94a168ef_hd.jpg Dr. James Rubin, (35) Department of Psychological Medicine, King's College London.

"There was no evidence that it was the electromagnetic field per se that was causing the symptoms, instead it was something to do with believing that you were being exposed that was responsible for the symptoms." https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/806f5195d0654f0e113f23e3742b0445_hd.jpg Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe, Lincolnshire Erica worked as an emergency medical doctor for 12 years in trauma rooms across the UK and abroad.

The work they carry out is vital in learning how they can reduce the fresh water requirements of the UAE, the majority of which comes from expensive and energy-intensive desalination plants. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/51b6f4eefd3c3a99515938790eda621b_hd.jpg SV Heuersdorf, the village football team.

Don canoed the length of the Athabasca river to raise awareness of the pollution being caused by the oil sands. “Right now the scale and pace of development here is out of control. We need to put on the brakes and deal with this horrible environmental legacy we have created for ourselves. If we keep approving new developments, we will develop 23% of Alberta to oil sands, which is roughly the same size as Florida. The majority of the sands are within the Athabasca watershed, so not only are we sacrificing the river, but we don't know what the downstream impacts of the developments are. And this whole boreal ecosystem, the most amazing water purifier there is, is just being pushed up in a pile.” https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/3473d685071f726cb11d9ead1822220b_hd.jpg Muslims only https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/6f514feb13d00f5567d7786199d982e7_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/e3cc5f7d40200c0ad91f5891575d4bc7_hd.jpg Chief Jim Boucher Jim is the Chief of Fort McKay, an indigenous community located 65km North of Fort McMurray.

But now when you’re in the line-ups these days, you don’t know anybody. It’s gone from being a small community, and it’s now a city. I think that people maybe don’t buy into the city, they don’t clean up their streets, they don’t have that same ownership as we did when it was smaller. Most people don’t live here for any length of time, they live here for two to five years and then they go somewhere else.

Bastakiya is named after the Persian merchants who came from Iran's Bastak region and settled in Dubai. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/38334215df8453546ac1882b657bebc1_hd.jpg Alan's Home, Downtown Fort McMurray Alan traveled from Newfoundland to Fort McMurray in the hope that he could get work with one of the oil companies. However, like many others, he lacked the necessary training to get a job. So he ended up sleeping rough on a patch of land in the centre of the town. There is an ever growing homeless population in the town, which is a major concern during the winter months when temperatures plunge below zero. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/16e750d37adc0780a6c77f4f50f6da53_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/20e729bf02cfdbf2b983d099e29a34f2_hd.jpg The Mass of Rich Men Graffiti on the toilet wall of Fort McMurray's public library. There is anger amongst many people who live there and who do not work in the oil sands industry or earn the high wages paid by the oil companies. They are being forced out of the town as the cost of living soars. The original quote from "Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell reads: "The mass of the rich and the poor are differentiated by their incomes and nothing else, and the average millionaire is only the average dishwasher dressed in a new suit.

The tower stands as a potent symbol of Dubai's desire to be a World leading city, but is also a reminder of the huge amounts of debt that the city has racked up over the past decade. It was originally called the Burj Dubai, but just before it opened the name was changed to Burj Khalifa in honour of the current President of the UAE and ruler of Abu Dhabi, who gave substantial financial aid to Dubai to pay its debtors. It is visible from almost every part of the city. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/518280a0101af70200513e1c2b0ca537_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/528cb386de632ad994ff0e632f8bd019_hd.jpg What next? https://www.thomasballphoto.com/speculate-regenerate 2018-02-10 weekly 0.5 https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/5aabced5ddbe53916dc177093a3139c8_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/1a797818032f2e5b3f62cc798a88f8e8_hd.jpg Utopia I revisited the Heygate Estate in early 2011.

This makes criminals feel secure in the knowledge that they will not be identified, and are hence free to prowl through the buildings and grounds looking for illicit opportunities. The householder is robbed of the power to question and deter intruders, as they are in no way suspicious or distinguishable from genuine residents. And the community cannot co-operate to challenge even obvious wrong-doing because they have no experience of everyday interaction and do not know whether they can rely on other residents to be on the side of the law.” Alice Coleman, 'Utopia on Trial', 1990. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/38a77293aa95ac460c8404f16b480530_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/8f80ccdf1708822aee53e781b09e096f_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/96b8885c500b9baa8b92b929503ce292_hd.jpg Brent River https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/312b6a68ab672c9e72cea2353a30bcf4_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9b3addafd3b42706140ac62d1ae999d1_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9abaedbd0b9ce814656f0e87d8673ebc_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/f0c0dc78a8b9d160f5a1a19f7555d411_hd.jpg Welcome Home An entrance doorway to some of the upper levels of the estate https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/0e8e93e67e7e3ac5394dfb79293f64eb_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/215b234823995e5090b4055144e435cc_hd.jpg Brent River https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/3f2a1a5d32b72377ba49806ae69cb5a8_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/4150f7740238c1cd514ee9f4d114617b_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/bd08895f8f9fc22f0c64bdbcc0080fd1_hd.jpg “A single household with its own garden is in no doubt of its right to control its garden space, and because this right is recognised by the community at large, it has the confidence to challenge people who intrude upon it.

She can let them play on the balcony, with the risk of a serious fall. She can let them loose in the corridor, where their noise may drive the neighbours mad.

Don canoed the length of the Athabasca river to raise awareness of the pollution being caused by the oil sands. “Right now the scale and pace of development here is out of control. We need to put on the brakes and deal with this horrible environmental legacy we have created for ourselves. If we keep approving new developments, we will develop 23% of Alberta to oil sands, which is roughly the same size as Florida. The majority of the sands are within the Athabasca watershed, so not only are we sacrificing the river, but we don't know what the downstream impacts of the developments are. And this whole boreal ecosystem, the most amazing water purifier there is, is just being pushed up in a pile.” https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/aabec3cadfc1341fb80703371fafbccb_hd.jpg Aidan Gillen, Dublin Independent on Sunday / New Review https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/4cef5c290083825d4bc93c42195aeaa8_hd.jpg Dale Vince, Ecotricity Dale is the founder and owner of the energy company Ecotricity.

My mum’s a drunk; my dad’s a drunk. I was given up for adoption. I’m barely getting by, everyday I struggle. I went from one abusive relationship to another, I have five children, but they’ve all been taken from me. I turned to crack and I was drinking heavily. I was raped, I was molested, I was abused.” https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/c3b6f3fe07057b176be545f742a55c14_hd.jpg Aiden Gillen, Dublin Independent on Sunday / New Review https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/c0bb014e78406e26cb1148004d319c2a_hd.jpg Alvin Smith, Inventor of Searaser. Alvin spent most of his life working as a motor engineer at his family-owned garage in Surrey. He took an interest in wave energy back in 1997. Then in 2006 he decided to start work on a new wave energy device, named Searaser. Searaser is different from other wave energy devices as it acts as a double action pump that sends water up into a storage reservoir on land. When required, the water is released through a turbine to generate electricity and therefore provides on-demand energy. www.searaser.net https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/493aad7f088def1f6a6f6df11ec99f01_hd.jpg Serg, Meral's Food Express.

But now when you’re in the line-ups these days, you don’t know anybody. It’s gone from being a small community, and it’s now a city. I think that people maybe don’t buy into the city, they don’t clean up their streets, they don’t have that same ownership as we did when it was smaller.

Devon (UK) When Jenny developed unexplained headaches, tinnitus, heart palpitations and insomnia, her doctors were at a loss as to the cause. After months of researching, she attributed her symptoms to a new neighbour's wi-fi next door. People who suffer from electrosensitivity in towns and cities often have to ask their neighbours whether they are willing to move or switch off their wireless routers and cordless phones. The responses can range from sympathy to outright refusal. She is photographed at a friend’s home on the edge of town.

His electrosensitivity has forced him to radically change his lifestyle and to give up touring almost entirely, as most public spaces have wi-fi, which makes him very unwell. “I went to see a friend of mine who's surrounded in Falmouth by student flats and got wi-fi coming in from all directions. I put up with it for a while because I thought, I'm being rude, there's something other than this, something's wrong with me. And by the time I actually managed to leave, I staggered out of the building, couldn't drive for an hour, I didn't feel safe to drive, and then felt absolutely rotten for next two days.

If I'd spent too long around computers, I'd feel very tired, and fuzzy headed. But nothing that I couldn't cope with.
