In terms of seeing pigs in the sewers, when I worked for a council years ago, one of the painters/repairmen went off sick for months as he'd been cleaning a toilet and had eaten his lunch without washing his hands (I know, it's disgusting and a stupid thing to do). He developed some sort of nasty brain bacteria as a result of the fecal matter and hallucinated all sorts of stuff before almost dying. Wading around in all that human fecal matter probably left a lot of them with brain problems and also it would be interesting to know if working in those conditions for a prolonged period would lead to life shortening problems

Another interesting discourse on Geogian, Regency and 19th century London. Henry Mathew is worth reading as is Peter Ackroyd’s ‘a Biography of London’ and his book which covers the whole length of this river. Arran, there are a few minor inaccuracies in the video, but they don’t really matter too much, with the exception of your statement that Joseph Bazelgette’s engineering masterpiece took the effluent down river where after some treatment it does indeed flow into the Thames - but certainly NOT upriver! You might also mentioned that the modern introduction of the flushing toilet. played a large part in overloading the old seeers. The embankment also made the river narrower causing a faster flow of the incoming and ebbing tides. Many of the flash floods you mention were a deliberate flushing of the sewers in an attempt to clear accumulation of solids which would build up periodically when/there was the flow of water in n the tributaries and rivers was low, or a osmall obstruction became a virtual blockage as more and mor solid material built up. I doubt toshers would have been issued with timely warnings from the authorities. Interestingly there are people employed to walk through the sewers these days, to check for buildups of solids which I believe aero called ‘fat bergs’r, a more recent phenomenon due largely to the waste from soaps and other materials which we put down our drains.

Falling into any slurry liquid is lethal because you're not buoyant. You just go straight to the bottom of whatever you fall in. Slurry tank accidents often kill not just the original victim, but regularly those who attempt a rescue too.

An interesting story, but there's one fairly obvious error. You said at least twice that Bazalgette designed his sewers to empty the waste UPstream. If he had done so, the dumped liquid would have flowed right back down past London again. If you look at the Wikipedia article "London sewerage system", you'll find this: "[Bazalgette] and his colleagues, including William Haywood, designed an extensive underground sewerage system that diverted waste to the Thames Estuary, downstream of the main centre of population."

Mudlarks still exist in London. Though now it is licenced. Goodies can still be found from ancient times when the tide recedes. There have been shows done on it. Ancient finds are still being made.
