TALK: Patron's Lecture - At Your Convenience: Torquay's Lav Affair with the Public Toilet
24th Feb 2026, 10:45 am
We all use them, but we often don’t talk about them! And when we do talk about them, we call them by many different names. What did we do before they were invented, and how did the private and public toilet evolve? At your convenience, do join us at a light-hearted illustrated talk about the history of toilets in Torbay.
TALK: Destination Utah: The USAAF in a Typical English Village

Featuring Upottery airfield in Devon, this talk illustrates the impact of around 1500 American servicemen taking up residence in a quiet English village.
