VMs: Plumbing / pipework...!?!??!
Hi everyone,
You may (or may not) be thoroughly excited to know that the Institute of
Plumbing ( http://www.plumbers.org.uk/ ) published in 1998 a book by
Charles Knevitt called "Well Washed and Watered", a history of plumbing
from 9000BC to the present.
Personally, I was more excited to find out that the IoP is based in Station
Lane, Hornchurch - a place I had hitherto thought to be devoid of all human
life. Obviously I was completely wrong. :-)
Sadly the British Library has somehow overlooked this book - but I will, of
course, endeavour to get hold of a copy of it, and will be sure to post my
findings to the list. :-)
Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
