Spooner, Me and the Piss Trough

Spooner, Me and the Piss Trough
Molly took this photo as Spooner explained the piss trough to me. The center course of bricks fills a space that was once an open sewer. People used to dump their slop buckets into it from the windows and balconies above. That's the Lovat Lane facade of St Mary at Hill just beyond the bicycle on the right.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

I learned at school (so it may be true) that they used to shout "Gardy-loo!" when they chucked the slops into the street. This was probably a corruption of 'Garde à l'eau' and may give us the word 'loo'.
