Framed Print of Worthing Water-Works, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Worthing Water-Works, 1858....one of the most favourable and successful examples of sanitary works executed under the authority of the Public Health Act...as the population [of Worthing] increased, its drainage, which from the beginning was without plan or arrangement, necessarily proved deficient. The sewers poured out their contents upon the shore, rendering a resort to the beautiful Esplanade during the ebb of the tide exceedingly disagreeable...the water-tower, engine-house, and chimney-shaft...were designed by Robert Rawlinson, Esq. C.E. The water-tower has a total elevation of 110 feet...Within the adjoining engine-house a well has been sunk in the chalk to a depth of seventy feet...From it gushes an abundant supply of the purest water, 143 degrees of hardness, which is lifted by the engine into a cast-iron tank at the top of the tower, and thence distributed into all the houses in the town. The tank...contains 110, 000 gallons'. From Illustrated London News, 1858. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
