🧵3 posts You would never guess where I have been this morning! Tucked away on Front Street at Glasshoughton is one of Castleford’s most unusual historic survivors. This Grade II listed public urinal, dating from the late Victorian or early Edwardian period, is far more than a simple convenience.

This is a Grade II listed Victorian cast-iron urinal, manufactured by Walter MacFarlane & Co. at the Saracen Foundry in Glasgow in the late 19th century. Similar ornate, prefabricated structures, sometimes called "pissoirs" or "Temples of Relief," are found in cities like Birmingham, Bristol, and London.
