Farnham Museum toilet, Surrey HL Cast Iron & Pyramid basin

I found out about this only the other day and decided to make it my visit for this month. The museum is a Georgian house in Farnham built in 1818 that is free to the public. Upstairs there is a toilet that may have been installed as early as the 19th centaury with some very small changes since.
The cistern is a Cast Iron, the first one I have seen in a while but as I expected, it didn't work or at least I think it only works a few times a day which seems to be the case with these. At least they kept it though and it still gets a full 10/10 just for the look.

.....Good heavens!! This really is a museum peice! I vaguely remember those corner basins from when I was a little girl!!! Really showin' my age now!!!

You're so lucky to have found that. I hope you got a look inside the cistern. The cast iron system is totally different from any modern day equivalent. With the original lead downpipe as well. This was a very rare find. Well done to you!

Annoyed the bloody water's been turned off but this don't stop me loving this gemstone!

The water may have been off to the cistern as it didn't sound like there was any water inside it but I totally agree that this is 10/10. Nice rare basin too. Not sure what brand the pan might be but its all very nice

This toilet has been replaced by another high level toilet unfortunately it's not cast iron but at least it's still high level I will post the clip on my KZbin channel later when I am home

Those lead wiped joints take about 20 minutes to perform at 0:56, still can buy the solder sticks today £10-14 each.

WOW, this is just like my 1920s bathroom in the united states

Everything about this toilet I liked until you discovered that it didn't flush. Pity I'd have liked to have heard it with the refill of course. Great video nevertheless.

Too bad that it does not flush
