Rouge Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I am reading a book which says Sheffield's original plumbing was "backwards" requiring builders to build the house's external toilets further away than the minimum requirement. There is no further explanation to what "backwards" means. Has anyone else heard of this? ) The book is called The English terraced house by Stefan Muthesius.

Just a thought ,people used to describe things as "backward " meaning a bit slow ,outdated .I don't suppose it could just mean that rather than some sort of technical term could it ?

Oh! This makes a lot of sense to why there is no other information about it. Thank you! I would have never thought of this haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
