Secret Bristol: Dark history of public loos
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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Bristol’s Steve Yabsley.
All proceeds from the book go towards refurbishing the toilet block on Durdham Downs.
