THE EXISTING WATER COMPANIES. I Propose in this chapter to go a little more into detail as to the arrangements made by the present Water Companies for the supply of London, concerning which, as a rule, the metropolitan public is exceedingly ignorant. The number of persons who, if challenged to name the water district of any chance part of London, could answer satisfactorily, is probably very limited. This carelessness and apathy is the more extraordinary, as in the case of even the slightest failure in the supply, the fact is brought home most uncomfortably to every inhabitant of the Great City. Taking the various companies in the order of seniority, the first is, The New River Company, which, as we have seen in the remarks about the ancient water supply, is by far the oldest of all the corporations. Its first Act was passed in 1605, by which power was given to the Corporation of the City of London to carry out the undertaking. This, however, it failed to do from want of courage, and after the Act had thus lain dormant for a considerable time, Sir Hugh Myddleton applied for the transfer of these powers under that particular Statute, and commenced the work on his own responsibility, and with money obtained on his own credit. It is a fair inference, therefore, that if the Corporation of that day had been as bold as it is now, the water supply of the metropolis would never have passed out of the hands of the central governing body. The sources from which the New River Company derives its supplies were originally from wells at Chad well and Am well near Ware, from whence the water was conveyed by a circuitous open conduit of about sixty-six miles in length, though in 1856 this channel was considerably straightened and the...

Book Synopsis The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 by : Leslie Tomory
Download or read book The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 written by Leslie Tomory and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did pre-industrial London build the biggest water supply industry on earth? Beginning in 1580, a number of competing London companies sold water directly to consumers through a large network of wooden mains in the expanding metropolis. This new water industry flourished throughout the 1600s, eventually expanding to serve tens of thousands of homes. By the late eighteenth century, more than 80 percent of the city’s houses had water connections—making London the best-served metropolis in the world while demonstrating that it was legally, commercially, and technologically possible to run an infrastructure network within the largest city on earth. In this richly detailed book, historian Leslie Tomory shows how new technologies imported from the Continent, including waterwheel-driven piston pumps, spurred the rapid growth of London’s water industry. The business was further sustained by an explosion in consumer demand, particularly in the city’s wealthy West End. Meanwhile, several key local innovations reshaped the industry by enlarging the size of the supply network. By 1800, the success of London’s water industry made it a model for other cities in Europe and beyond as they began to build their own water networks. The city’s water infrastructure even inspired builders of other large-scale urban projects, including gas and sewage supply networks. The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820 explores the technological, cultural, and mercantile factors that created and sustained this remarkable industry. Tomory examines how the joint-stock form became popular with water companies, providing a stable legal structure that allowed for expansion. He also explains how the roots of the London water industry’s divergence from the Continent and even from other British cities was rooted both in the size of London as a market and in the late seventeenth-century consumer revolution. This fascinating and unique study of essential utilities in the early modern period will interest business historians and historians of science and technology alike.
