Picture of the day Joseph Bazalgette (28 March 1819 – 15 March 1891) was an English civil engineer. As Chief Engineer of London's Metropolitan Board of Works, his major achievement was the creation of a sewerage system for central London, in response to the Great Stink of 1858, which was instrumental in relieving the city of cholera epidemics, while beginning to clean the River Thames. He later designed the second and current Hammersmith Bridge, which opened in 1887. This photograph of Bazalgette was taken between 1864 and 1877.Photograph credit: Lock & Whitfield; restored by Adam Cuerden Tip of the day... Ask intelligent questions When asking a question about editing Wikipedia at the Teahouse or Help desk, please include all the facts needed to answer your question - especially the page title you're enquiring about. Most respondents will assume you are editing in 'desktop' view, and are using Source Editor, not Visual Editor (VE). So remember to say if you're working on a mobile or using VE. Always give context to any question. At the Reference desk, for example, don't ask "who was president in 1900?" without mentioning the country you're interested in! This prevents volunteers helpers having to ask follow-up questions before providing answers. Friendly reminder: the Teahouse (for new editors) and Help desk are for questions on how to use or edit Wikipedia; the Reference desk is for questions about anything else (real world questions).
