GB 0074 ACC/2558/DV 1878-1955 Collection 0.5 linear metres Darenth Valley Main Sewerage Board

The Darenth Valley in Kent follows the course of the River Darent, which flows from the Greensand hills to join the river Thames north of Dartford. The Metropolitan Board of Works was formed in 1845 with the duty of forming a working sewer system in London. Part of the work that arose as a result involved constructing outfall sewers at a distance from the metropolis, nearer the mouth of the Thames so that the effluent would be taken away with the tide.

Deposited in 1988, as part of a larger accession of records from Thames Water.

Within each company the records are divided as follows:
