Haworth in Yorkshire where the Bronte sisters lived was known for the poor health of its inhabitants. The churchyard is at the top of the hill and the drinking water was taken from the bottom! A deadly self sustaining arrangement.

 Back then many deniers were convinced no action was necessary.  Chadwick exposed their fallacies, and then a succession of Cholera Epidemics and the Great Stink made it clear Chadwick was right.
