Twyford And Royal Doulton, Wicksteed High Level Toilet Block

[Toiletworshipa]

impressive.

[gingerzpinballz]

ha ha! crapped in those a few times,the toilet block is very old,the cisterns I think may be original but the pans look to be 1950s

no doubt they will be ripped out soon:-(

Hmm so is the trough split up into sections or is it one large one with timed syphons/valves? For some reason I have a feelign these aren't syphons because the chain was still loose during the flush and only went back up at the end.

[Marcoboy9074]

This is a remake of the 1970s Twyfords.

[ramdomness453]

Yes, there are several batches of this one yet they all look very similar.

[Marcoboy9074]

On the first look,I thought it was the old one until I saw the logo.

[ramdomness453]

Yes, though I think the older ones have the seat mounting holes further back, I'll have to compare some.

[Marcoboy9074]

Hmm...I didn't thought of the mounting holes.

[ramdomness453]

I seemed to notice it on the really old ones but the other batchs seem the same to me.

[Marcoboy9074]

Hmm...you mean those with Viterous China on them?

[ramdomness453]

The cursive one, I haven't seen a Classic Twyfords with the Viterous China on them. Yet ...

[Marcoboy9074]

I think the cursive one is considered quite new as compared to those in consistent block letters.

[ramdomness453]

Yes, I agree I consider a few of the cursive ones to be reasonbly modern.

[Marcoboy9074]

The cursive ones range from 1983 to 1996.This one you have is from 1997 and beyond.

[ramdomness453]

For some reason I thought the current logo without the 's' was from 1999 or 2000 and up, quite close though. Thanks for that info. :)

[Marcoboy9074]

I deduced it to be 1997 because there was this toilet I visited in Hong Kong that has this new logo,it was renovated in 1997.

[ramdomness453]

Makes sense, I believe the first time I saw this one was around 2000.
