Toilets in Victorian Houses

[Currywurst and Chips]

Why are they always on the ground floor by the kitchen?

Where would you prefer them to be?

Where would you prefer them to be?

Preference

1. As an en suite adjacent to my bedroom on thr 1st/2nd floor

2. As part of a bathroom on the 1st/2nd floor like modern houses

3. On the ground floor away from the kitchen

Basically, not adjacent to the kitchen

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

Fair enough really

[BIGRON]

Ours used to be in the garden

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

Sounds like next to the kitchen is the.bog standard place

And where did all the "IZAL medicated toilet paper" go. C'mon you must remember that stuff

[WGC O]

Down the toilet I would imagine

We never had "fatbergs" when we used IZAL Medicated or newspaper

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

What us IZAL medicated paper?

I think you mean "What IS .....

It's the Dirty Harry (don't tell me you've not heard of him) of loo paper – "it’s rough, it’s tough and takes no sh*t". You haven't lived if you haven't wiped your posterior with IZAL. Google it, I'm sure you'll find all the info you want.

I vaguely remember squares of old newspaper in our outside bog , mind you it was 60 odd years ago

My grandparents lived in Palmers Green and had a outside loo too.

I remember Grandma & Grandpa taking me there when I stayed with them. There was a building/museum there with some fantastic stuffed animals.

How have we got from Victorian Toilets to taxidermy

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

No idea the building/museum isn't there any longer but the park does have some some character. You also get a great view of Alexandra Palace and into central London from the top of the hill.

I'll have to pay it another visit for old times sake.

Hopefully any Victorian Architects reading this forum will take on board your preferences when drawing plans for new Victorian houses
