About 30 years ago I lived in a Victorian house. It had a demolished
outbuilding that I decided to clear away and dig a pond. I found a
strange construction made out of smooth red ceramic. It was a large
shovel like device that pivoted on two ceramic towers. I thought I had
found some ancient long forgotten machine. Then after digging around
it and deeper down I found a few lines of text on part of the machine.
It wasn't a letter, it was instructions for using a tippler toilet.
It made a great drainage system for the pond.
