In the 1850s and 1870s there were serious outbreaks of smallpox and cholera in the town of Sleaford, which medical authorities blamed directly on the state of the water supplies in the town centre. As a result, when the Sleaford Water Company was formed to provide the town with piped water in 1879, supplies were extracted from springs in this part of Quarrington Fen, because they were well away from the contaminated areas. {1}{2} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1879 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
