Dark history of public loos
The story of a Bristol toilet attendant who saw the shady secrets of the The Downs.
A notorious book - which scandalised the city when it first appeared in 1977 - is being republished. It's called 'Ladies' Mile - The Remarkable and Shocking Story of Twilight Bristol', written by a toilet attendant on Durdham Downs called Victoria Hughes. Victoria documented the ladies that used the toilet - many of them prostitutes. Kerris Harrop, who’s republishing the book, spoke to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Bristol’s Steve Yabsley. All proceeds from the book go towards refurbishing the toilet block on Durdham Downs.
