About this product

Product Information

Although Thomas Crapper is most commonly associated with the invention of the flushing toilet, his models were in fact the result of a long line of improvements to earlier designs which date back to ancient times. This book is an ideal introduction to the history of the toilet, tracing its development from the primitive - and very smelly - privy maiden to today's one-piece, all-ceramic WC. Illustrated with superb photographs, this book tells the story of the lavatory, from the Elizabethan era to the modern day.

  • Flushed with success

    The greatest single improvement to public health in this country was the development of public drainage and sewage systems. The amazingly clever flushing toilet was essential to the success of the larger engineering works. This book gives clear insight into a modern health marvel that we now all take for granted.

  • Well written little book

    Shire books are always reliable, well written and have great illustrations. Interesting topic. Was pleased to find this copy at such a reasonable price too.
