You might think that this was as bad as it could get, but a 1696 pamphlet suggested that the Thames was actually better off than most English rivers, which enjoyed fewer protections and in contrast were “choaked up with Filth”. Perhaps a more effective response than the UK manages today. Alum, as it is known today, was produced through the “boiling of urine” and the complaints were aimed at the “noisome stinking scum of a frothy substance” that it was dumping into the water.īoth the smell and contamination were claimed to have “cast many of into extremity of great sicknesses” and the building was shut down. In 1627, a case was brought by London residents against a house that made “allom”. There was the waste that ended up in the river, and the smell that resulted from it.īoth dangers appeared in those scenarios where authorities did step in and take action against polluters. The threat of pollution therefore took two forms.
If “corrupt” or “putrid” air was key to the spread of illness, the stench of the River Fleet was not only unpleasant – it was life threatening. Part of the complaint was the damage that Evelyn claimed polluted air was doing to the water both in the city, and to those who lived downstream who he said emerged after bathing covered in a “web” of dust and grime.Įvelyn’s issues with the air highlight the importance of smell in early modern understandings of disease. John Evelyn’s 1661 work Fumifugium criticised the polluted air in the capital. There were also specific health concerns. “The Thames brings us in our Riches, our Gold, Silks, Spices: and we throw all our filth into the Thames”. Thomas Powell lamented the river’s treatment in a 1679 religious work, suggesting people treated God in a similar way to the river: poorly. Increasingly however, the state of rivers like the Thames came under criticism. Urine, and Plasters? When the Noise doth beat Is fill’d with Buttock? And the Walls do sweat Tempt such a passage? when each Privies Seat When every Clerk eats Artichokes and Peason, Your dainty Nostrils (in so hot a Season, The author Ben Jonson, whose house was near the Fleet, took the state of the river as inspiration for his poem “On the Famous Voyage” which paints a nauseatingly vivid picture of the waterway’s condition through a mock voyage down it: The Fleet river (left) was a “notorious” sewer by the 17th century, and as the map shows, it flowed directly into the Thames. Pollution of the river was a key concern, and this “conservation” was specifically defined in terms of preventing people from “annoying” the river by casting “any Soil, Dust, Rubbish, or other Filth into it.”ĭespite these restrictions, Tudor London clearly did cast “other Filth” into its rivers. When challenged on his right to the river by later kings in the 1500s, the then mayor pointed out that “ conservation and correction” of the Thames had fallen to city leaders since at least 1407. This usage in the context of the Thames represents, according to academics Keith Thomas and Bruce Boehrer, the first use of the idea of “conservation” in the English language in relation to protecting the natural world.īut this was far from a new idea. An act from the first years of Henry VII’s reign made the Thames and its protection the domain of the mayor of London as its “conservator”. wiki / Saunders and Schofield (eds), Tudor London: a map and a view (2001)įrom as early as 1489, protections for rivers were starting to take on language that made clear that preservation was a chief concern.
