We had one of those books or one similar at least and I was surprised to find thet there were still houses with only outdoor privvies in the town right into the sixties. This place was built around 1900 and I think it had an indoor one right from the start.
the first house we rented in Doncaster in 67-68 had an outside loo and tho not tin, the bath was under the stairs, in the kitchen...
My Auntie Annie had an outside loo.. I'm am so glad that I could hold my wee for a long time back then..
our house in 1947 had an outside loo, plus no electricity and only candles for illumination other than the gas mantles in the two main downstairs rooms - even the kitchen used candles

We used to visit one of my grandma's sisters (there were quite a few - 12 children in the family from 2 husbands) in a nearby village and I'm pretty sure that had an outside loo. Probably not running water either. It was an old Northampton stone cottage that was called the hovel for some reason. Probably worth £¾m now...
We had an outside loo, my Dad used to take me down there if it was dark, what I remember most is the spiders.
Do you remember Izal toilet roll.?
Toilet roll ? I remember the Daily Sketch :grin: :grin:
i remember Boycott making his first century, that was pre izal days of course
Daily Sketch.!! Would that be a Labour paper.!!
I suppose any Labour paper is good for using in the loo.
