A pissoir. I feel it should be in Paris or Marseilles but it'll probably turn out to be somewhere like St Pancras Station!

This is Trawden's offering, not quite as ornate but just as functional. Image from Google Earth / Steet View in 2009.

Are they unisex, or do females just have to hang on?
( not that I would use it...)

Standing room only as a rule Maz. I remember when our kids were young and we we in rural France. How mortified they were when we found one of their unisex "holes in the ground" complete with foot placement recesses to aid in correct alignment. I think it was somewhere in the Loire.

It's been let slip a bit since 2009 by the looks of it, could do with a coat of paint.

Brings to mind Clochemerle. I read the book a long time ago, but seem to have missed the film. :smile:

You're all dead right of course but not the location, slightly more esoteric and further away than Trawden or Paris. One more day for you to think......

Barnoldswick Water Works?

That's a good suggestion Maz. Of course, it could also be the Barlick branch of Weight Watchers.

Did they have Weight Watchers in 1891?

Another suggestion...British Water Ways. I recall having to carry a key to get water from taps along the canal on our canal-boat holiday.

What a good idea, send weight loss patients for forced labour instead of gastric band surgery. :good:

Looks like the slidey thing out of a craft knife ???

Well, that didn't last long, did it. I'll bet you've seen the insides of a few craft knives in your time! This is probably the bit that pops out and drops down the chimney just when you need the knife. :smile:
