On the Greenway above the Northern Outfall Sewer
By the 1850s the River Thames in Central London was a vast open sewer and “The Great Stink” of 1855 brought matters to a head. The smell was so strong that curtains soaked in calcium chloride had to be hung over the windows of the Houses of Parliament facing the river. The Government finally acknowledged the problem and established the Metropolitan Board of Works. Their first task was the provision of a proper sewerage and drainage system. The Northern and Southern Outfall Sewers were constructed between 1860 and 1865, the former carrying sewage from northern London to the Northern Outfall Works at Beckton.
The Greenway has been opened up on top as a footway and cycle track and runs all the way from Victoria Park to Beckton. The Capital Ring follows most of it. Here it is seen from a cross path linking Lonsdale Avenue (which is to the right) with Saxon Road to the left.

East Ham: The Greenway and the Northern Outfall Sewer
The Greenway has been created as a linear footpath and cycleway along the top of the embankment of the Northern Outfall Sewer. The sewer was built between 1860 and 1865 under the direction of Joseph Bazalgette for the Metropolitan Commissioners for Sewers at a cost of £164,000, and was designed to remove sewage from North London to Beckton. By the 1850s the River Thames in central London was effectively an open sewer since sewage drained directly into it. The 'Great Stink' of 1855 caused Parliament and the Law Courts to seriously consider moving away from the river. The Metropolitan Board of Works was set up in 1855, with the construction of a sewage system as its primary task.
