The cholera outbreak which John Snow described took place on Abbey-row (shown in red), labeled in the 1862 map as "Sfift Row," across the eastern branch of the Lea River from a flour mill. The location of the shallow pump well is shown in blue. The pump supplied water for the residents of Abbey-row, persons living in the flour mill, and several other households near the mill by the river.
