Altre informazioni

Broadwick Street (formerly Broad Street) is a street in Soho, City of Westminster, London. It runs for 0.18 miles (0.29 km) approximately west-east between Marshall Street and Wardour Street, crossing Berwick Street. Broad Street was notorious as the centre of an 1854 outbreak of cholera (see 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak). Dr John Snow traced the outbreak to a public water pump on the street and disabled the pump. The end of the outbreak swiftly followed. Before this time, the disease was widely thought to be caused by air-borne miasma; Snow's findings showed it to be water-borne. [Source: Wikipedia]
