Cardiff City Centre Toilets. Underground Victorian Classics

I heard heard Cardiff had a nice set of victorian undrground toilets so I couldn'tbeive my luck when I came across them right in the city! They must have ben kept as they where to remind peopl of the past! At one time most ajor cities in the Uhad such toilets of the grand scale. Now few remain but these ar well maintained so should be hear to stay!

Enjoy!

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.

@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!

@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.

@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.
