Quite dapper for a sewer tunnel tour, no?
These gents were friends of English civil engineer
Joseph Bazalgette attending a tour of the main drainage works of his new London Sewage System
in 1862.
Tours of anything similar today are accompanied by
hard hats rather than
top hats, but historical images like this do convey the significance of these infrastructural achievements.
Huzzah, ol' boy!
