Student: Noor Haddad-Pryce · Course: HIST 2310, Modern Britain, 1750–1914 · Instructor: Prof. Helen Marchetti · Due: Friday, March 20, 2026

> Essay question: To what extent did the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak transform sanitation policy in Victorian London?

At a glance

Working thesis

The Broad Street outbreak is remembered as the moment London learned that cholera spread through water, but it did not transform sanitation policy on its own. The Great Stink of 1858 and the political reorganization of metropolitan government drove the sewer reforms. Snow's waterborne theory shaped policy only after the East London outbreak of 1866 gave it statistical force.

*Note to self: "transform" is the key word. I need to define it as a change in law, funding or institutions, not just a change in ideas.*

Introduction plan

• Hook: Open with the removal of the Broad Street pump handle on September 8, 1854. It is the iconic image, and I will test it.
