Cardiff City Centre Toilets. Underground Victorian Classics

Pity this wasn't longer. I thought it was naff at the beginning, but then this lovely high level appeared. Lovely sound of cistern refill. Any chance of seeing the Ladies side of the show? Equal rights and all that!!

@GI4JYT I would get arrested if I filmed the ladies but no reason why someone else (a woman) film them for me lol

Cardiff City Council refurbed those facilites in the late 2000s

I've got one of these Crapper bowls with a high cistern in my own toilet at home, it rules!

These are actually replicas, and were only just done recently, they spent loads of money on them, and as you said, to remind people of the past.

[smoogie7]

@maroonloo There are some like this on Rothesay on the Scottish Isle of Bute. They whee restored. There is a vid of them on here where someone films the inside. I filmed them myselfin 2008 but my phone messed up and I lost all trance of it! :-( It must have been the first recording I had ever done!

[maroonloo]

@smoogie7 Yeah, those are pretty much original apart from the restoration they did, I would love to go there, that long row of Twyford Adamants with glass cisterns.

[smoogie7]

@maroonloo Worth the visit I would say. I have also heard there are some in Hamstead in Outer London & some in Hull that are ver original.

@smoogie7 Really? I think places with the best bet of old public toilets are like villiages ni the countryside and what have you, as they get used less, less prone to renovation.

Great toilets and bathroom-I love the cistern and the gold coloured pipe.

I bet these old bathrooms are listed with any luck,so they wont be replaced.
