The Great Stink was shown again recently and here is a link to it. It describes in detail the problem in 1858 (extremely high temperature for 3 months and no rain) that led to the funding being granted for the sewer system in London. Its a good watch, educational and demonstrates why the sewers were needed - even if the reasoning - to eliminate smell - was wrong, the solution, to separate the sewage from water supplies, was undoubtedly correct.
The Museum of Water and steam at Kew and the Crossness pumping station I mentioned in the earlier discussion feature - all too briefly.
