Addington Well Pumping Station
- ... that the origin of the
Croydon typhoid outbreak of 1937 was a workman repairing the local well that fed the Addington pumping station (pictured)?
- ALT1:... that a Bank of England employee was the first to recognise the Croydon typhoid outbreak of 1937?
- ALT2:... that the Croydon typhoid outbreak of 1937 was traced to a First World War veteran who didn't know he was carrying the disease?
- ALT3:... that the local medical officer thought it "inconceivable" that the Croydon typhoid outbreak of 1937 was caused by contaminated water?
- Reviewed: Duty to escape
- Comment: still working on the article
Created by Whispyhistory ( talk) and Philafrenzy ( talk). Nominated by Whispyhistory ( talk) at 20:38, 4 February 2020 (UTC).
Article is new enough (created on 28 January nominated just in time on 4 February), long enough (10153 characters), and article is within policy. AGF on the paywalled sources- All hooks are short enough, interesting, and within policy. All hooks are supported by inline citations, which support the hooks. I personally think that ALT0 & ALT1 are the most interesting, but leave it up to promoter's disgression
- Image is freely licenced, and looks fine at low resolution. It's an interesting as a picture of a pumping well can be
- QPQ done
-
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations.
