Nottingham continued to grow rapidly, especially after 1845 when a
great deal of land around it was released for building. Nottingham
gained gas street lighting in 1819. However like all towns in the
early 19th century Nottingham was a dirty, unsanitary place. There
was a cholera epidemic in 1833, which killed 330 people. However
life in 19th century Nottingham gradually improved. In the mid-19th
century the piped water supply was taken over by the corporation
and was greatly expanded. After 1835 Nottingham had its first
proper police force and a new prison was built in 1846. Meanwhile
the railway first reached Nottingham in 1839. The first public
library in Nottingham opened in 1868 and University College was
formed in 1881, when ""Nottingham Old And New"" was published.
