"The Roboro Rowe Bros. & Co Sanitary Specialists Birmingham" 1930's Cistern And Pan, The Vintner

The left side of The Vintner in Stratford Upon Avon is rather disappointing for the gents, close coupled 1970's Armitage Shanks as you've seen before, but in the ladies, there's the great Thomas Crapper And Co. Venerable And Cast Aluminium 814. cisterns. But if you go in the right side of the building, you find this in the gents and ladies (Had a quick peak while no-one was looking, but didn't record it)

The cistern is "The Roboro Rowe Bros. & Co Sanitary Specialists Birmingham" as stated in the title, it doesn't have it's original bell sadly, but a Shires syphon and a regular lever on the side. This whole toilet was supplied by Thomas Crapper And Co. after being restored.

The basin is an Armitage Ware, the toilet pan has no logo, I was told what it was but I can't remember right now.

Flush is short, but sounds absolutely brilliant, seems to slightly syphon out if you watch.
