Per capita spend on systems by 1874. Eton out on its own on its spend. Well-to-do need looking after. Reflected also in the fact that the two places with highest ratio of to bottoms were Royal Tunbridge Wells (1:2.8 bottoms) and Richmond, Surrey (1:3.8 bottoms). Whereas in Dudley in the Black Country the stats were 1 WC to 437.8 bottoms! 😱 Big spenders spending their pennies.

Map of Britain showing per capita spend on sewerage systems expressed in graduated red dots against a blue background. Eton, Reigate, Kidderminster, Oswestry, Hexham and Harrogate stand out as bigger spenders.

@rlcj nothing in York? Thought that appeared on your previous map?

@markno It did. But while we have population figures we don’t have data on money spent on sewerage before 1874 so can’t calculate the per capita figure. If interested, population in 1876 43,796; WCs 3,000: this one WC to 14.6 bottoms. Not bad. But prepare to form an orderly queue! Midden system still being used.
