Memorial to Engineer of London's "Main Drain"
A friend has been a senior engineer with the sewage works within a large Canadian city, and shared with me all of the rather earthy joking that goes with the job. There seems to be no glory in sewers.
When I came across this statue to the engineer builder of the London sewage system, I was impressed by how the English glorified the buider of their sewage system. The memorial is prominently on display along the Thames River by Victoria Embankment.
Here is some more info on Sir Joseph Bazalgette.
