Geschiedenis
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.
