Trench, which is Intended to Carry into Execution.' Imagined view along River Thames looking from the site of Charing Cross Station on left to Waterloo Bridge on right.

An extremely rare printing on silk of one of the sheets of Trench's prospect of the Thames with his proposed improvements, including the creation of an Embankment.

Although his plan was blocked by powerful interests he continued his campaign, after cholera ravaged parts of the city. Only after he died in 1859 did Parliament finally give the project to Sir Joseph Bazalgette.
