On Monday, 21 October 2024 at 7.30pm in the Alsager Library the topic is Bogs, Baths & Basins – A History of Domestic Sanitation      

Did Thomas Crapper really invent the modern toilet? And why do we talk of lavatories? These and other questions are answered by David in this talk which charts the development of domestic sanitary arrangements from the primitive privy to the introduction of the modern bathroom. David visited the Twyfords factory in Alsager for some of his research, as Alsager was known as Toilet Town until the factory closed. Not for the faint hearted or squeamish.
