The Crossness Pumping Station is a Victorian masterpiece of engineering and architecture, built by Sir Joseph Bazalgette to deal with London‘s sewage. The pumping station opened in 1865 and was operational until the 1950s. To end the ?Great Stink? of 1858, London needed a major upgrade to their sewer system. The Crossness Pumping Station was built to more efficiently deal with the waste of the populace, and they added surprisingly lovely ironwork to boot.
