Soho

Part of a map that may well have changed the world. In 1854 Dr John Snow risked his own life to record and map a bad cholera outbreak in Soho, London. He was convinced that the disease was water borne, not air borne, and he gathered the evidence needed to prove his theory. I have just watched a little article about this on television, so printed a map off from the Internet, then took a photograph ..then put it back onto the Internet! Full circle. I thought it a very interesting bit of history that fits so well with this weeks theme.

Just in case anyone wishes to read a little more:
