In the pilot episode of The Alternative Travelogues, we visit Aldgate Pump in the historic City of London. But whatever you do, don't drink the water...
"..... Drinking corpse juice, or as it's known now, Doctor Pepper." Bwahahaha! Seriously, Chameleon, this is a brilliant idea for a travelogue series, especially now that we're surrounded by the Viruses Of Death and the Terrifying Vaccines. More, please, sir!
It was the forerunner of the Environmental Health Officer, an Inspector of Nuisances who noticed that the cholera epidemic surrounded the pump. He didn't know why but he took the pump handle away so that it couldn't be used. The outbreak ended..
Great! I would have liked an ever earlier starting point - the history of that spot in Iron Age or Roman times and forward.
Deliciously dry presentation.

Thank you! Plenty more coming!
@BrokenChameleon Dr. Pepper line got me too 🤣🤣
Also a public pump in Broad Street in Soho was contaminated with sewage. Cholera from the water killed a lot of people before it was shut down.
