That is what I miss being here.
I love English history...and love the old building..castles, Stately homes.
I remember when I was younger using the public toilets over there in Hastings.
I kid you not they were no different from when they had been built in Victorian time. Probably state of the art back then.
The 'stalls' were each about as large as my bedroom at home!!! ....why?
To accommodate the huge Victorian
crinolines !!
They pulled the old building down when I was about 22.
Pat/Pearl probably remembers as I do...a lady standing at a turnstile when we went to use these facilities...we had to give her a penny (one of the big old fashioned ones, before the common market changed our money) then she would allow us to go in .
All the big stations had a lady to take the money...and we called it "spending a penny" .. Charing Cross, Victoria , Paddington ..all very Victorian.
For me England has changed so much
