History West Midlands Podcast - Cholera and clean water in the Black Country

What a wonderful and interesting video. Lived in Brownhills for over 50 years and never heard of this pumping station. So much to learn every day.

Thank you. It is interesting in that history was taught in my day as a timeline of the monarchy and a few other famous people. The great man theory of history as it became to be known as.

Living in industrialised Birmingham, I was always interested in what’s going on underneath all this and how it affects the lives of everyday people.

Clean water and good sanitation certainly had a significant positive impact on life expectancy.
