Flushed with Pride: Story of Thomas Crapper Book
The story of Thomas Crapper, inventor of the flushing toilet and England's Royal Plumber, as well as a fascinating social history of the lavatory. Available again in paperback. The name of Thomas Crapper, who invented the flushing toilet more than a century ago, is commemorated on lavatory cisterns throughout Britain. Flushed with Pride is the story of Crapper's remarkable life and his struggle to reform the nation's water closets. Wallace Reyburn recounts his early years and his journey on foot to London (at the age of eleven) to begin his apprenticeship with a master plumber. He then charts Crapper's rise to preeminence as the leading inventive genius among Victorian water engineers. Named Plumber By Appointment to King Edward VII and the Prince of Wales, the ultimate accolade, Crapper masterminded the sanitary fittings at the Royal Palace, Sandringham House, and Westminster Abbey. Delightfully entertaining and packed with interesting historical insights, Flushed with Pride is a little classic of the small room. 128 pp 4 1/2 x 7 b/w illustrations throughoutRead More
