UNDERGROUND WORKS AT THE JUNCTION OF HAMPSTEAD-ROAD, EUSTON-ROAD, AND TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Underground works at the junction of Hampstead-Road, Euston-Road, and Tottenham-Court-Road, 1864. View showing '...what extensive subterranean works are being constructed in different parts of London, yet which make no show on the surface, and the very existence of which is probably unknown to a very large portion of the inhabitants...daily walking over the site...the lines of a number of different works intersect each other [here]. There is, first, immediately under the surface of the road, a double set of mains and pipes for supplying...water and gas. Beneath these passes, transversely, the iron tube belonging to the Pneumatic Dispatch Company, through which parcels are...conveyed backwards and forwards, and occasionally the mail-bags also, between the General Post Office and this district. Under this tube, is the tunnel of the Metropolitan Railway, through which trains are constantly passing and repassing. The Pneumatic Dispatch Company's tube cuts through the crown of this tunnel. On each side of it run large sewers which form part of the London Main-Drainage works. Beneath all these structures we have shown a longitudinal section of the proposed Hampstead, Midland, North-Western, and Charing-cross Railway - a line which is not yet made'.

LONDON MAIN-DRAINAGE WORKS: VIEW OF THE OUTFALL OF THE NORTHERN DRAINAGE AT BARKING CREEK, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
London Main-Drainage Works: view of the outfall of the Northern Drainage at Barking Creek, 1864. Illustration of works on '...the great northern outfall on the Essex side of the Thames, west of the river Roding (generally known as Barking Creek.)...The embankment in the distance...contains buried in it the great outfall sewers through which the entire accumulated drainage of the metropolis north of the Thames finds its way into the river...The extensive works indicated on the right are the tops of the arches which cover the reservoir (twelve acres in extent) in which the sewage is allowed to accumulate during the greater part of the tide, and from which it is allowed to escape by gravitation at or near the time of high water, so that it may be carried down the river with the ebb tide. But it is not intended to allow the sewage to run off with the bottom of the ebb; the sluices will be closed two hours before low water, so that the last of it will have travelled sufficiently far down the river before the tide returns to prevent it again visiting the metropolis. Or if it does come back part of the distance, it will be in combination with such a mass of pure water that it will not be noticeable'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

LONDON MAIN-DRAINAGE WORKS: AQUEDUCT AT ABBEY MILLS, STRATFORD, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
London Main-Drainage Works: Aqueduct at Abbey Mills, Stratford, 1864. 'The Illustration shows the manner in which the numerous waterways and branches of the Lea River are crossed by the aqueducts of the main drainage-works. These are generally wrought-iron tubes and girders, supported at each end by piers and abutments of solid masonry. The example shown in the Illustration is that which crosses the canal immediately below Abbey Mills, at West Ham. When the whole of the main-drainage scheme is carried out, which it will be when the Thames embankment from Westminster to Blackfriars Bridge is completed and the new street thence to the Mansion House made, there will be erected at West Ham the largest pumping establishment of the entire work. It will require engine-power to the extent of 1140 horses to give the accumulated drainage of the metropolitan low-level district on the north side of London its final lift into the great outfall sewer, through which it will flow by gravitation into the river at Barking Creek. The engine-power proposed to be erected at this point will consist of eight double-acting condensing engines, with cylinders 54 in. in diameter, with a stroke of 9 ft., and working pumps, two to each engine, of 46½ in. diameter'.

THE METROPOLITAN MAIN-DRAINAGE WORKS AT CROSSNESS, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Metropolitan Main-drainage works at Crossness, [Bexley], 1864. View of '...the works at this important outlet for the whole of the sewage drained from the area on the south side of the Thames. The large building in the centre...will have a good appearance from the river. It has considerable architectural pretensions...The block of buildings...contains the engines, boilers, and other machinery connected with the great pumping establishment...The numerous lines of walls, some arched over, in the foreground...are the works of the great reservoir, in which the sewage is accumulated during the flow of the tide...The reservoir into which the sewage is lifted extends over 6½ acres, and is capable of holding 1,000,000 cubic feet in each of its four compartments...The sewage will be stored therein between the tidal periods of high water, near which time only a discharge into the river is intended...the works are very extensive, covering...an area of about fifteen acres. They embrace, in addition to the above, a complicated network of sewers and three outlets, furnished with a number of very large cast-iron sluices, with all requisite machinery for regulating and distributing the sewage into the several channels, as circumstances may demand'.
