Dealing with epidemics & diseases in the past

Post by Cornytiv34 »

The Smithsonian Magazine, who permit passing articles to friends, have this fascinating article about how a special building in Hackney, London was built to deal with diseases and epidemics in the past.

Way in advance of the times and probably very necessary with the proximity of the busy docks.
