Temporary water tank during Typhoid epidemic in Worthing Upper High Street, Worthing, Sussex - Summer 1893 - Ref- 510 - click image to return   Rhyl Record 19 August 1893 - TYPHOID AT WORTHING. The number of cases of typhoid now notified in Worthing has exceeded 1,150. At an adjourned meeting of the Town Council a few days ago it was decided to go to Shoreham for water for temporary purposes, and mains to be laid at once. It is hoped that well within a month fresh water will be in the town. Heartrending stories are told of families laid low by the disease. A general appeal has been made for funds to help the sick poor, and Worthing will need all the generous support her neighbours can give in the present lamentable state of affairs.
