  • The Barbican was a bit like that when I worked on a flat there. A special plumbers merchant round the corner could have anything made or source the really unusual parts. That was about 20years ago too.

    I love those flats.
    Royal Doulton (Edit: it’s Twyfords and you can still buy them but I think they’re NOS) still make those weird but excellent vertical basins.

    I got lost leaving a flat there in the early hours very much the worse for wear with (now ex) Mrs. Bird, we literally wandered around trying to find a way out for a lifetime until we heard footsteps and ran to them in desperation.

  • The whole place is like some dystopian novel. I had 3 men turn up at the front door one day to let me know the immersion tank was overheating!

    Still have a lampshade from there which I think is original.
