Addington Well Pumping Station

• ... that the origin of the Croydon typhoid outbreak of 1937 was a workman repairing the local well that fed the Addington pumping station (pictured)?

Created by Whispyhistory (talk) and Philafrenzy (talk). Nominated by Whispyhistory (talk) at 20:38, 4 February 2020 (UTC).

• Y Article is new enough (created on 28 January nominated just in time on 4 February), long enough (10153 characters), and article is within policy. AGF on the paywalled sources
• Y All hooks are short enough, interesting, and within policy. All hooks are supported by inline citations, which support the hooks. I personally think that ALT0 & ALT1 are the most interesting, but leave it up to promoter's disgression
• Y Image is freely licenced, and looks fine at low resolution. It's an interesting as a picture of a pumping well can be
• Y QPQ done
• Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:25, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
