The Urinals of Northumberland County Agricultural and Trade Show

The Northumberland County Show is held at Tynedale Park in Corbridge, Northumberland, England.


These pictures were sent in by PT. He writes: "[These pictures were taken] at the first show of the season and is a chance for the farming community to show their prize animals - beef, dairy, sheep, horses etc and compete for various championships. It takes place on the grounds of Corbridge Rugby Football club which has a spectators stand. Between 20-25,000 people attend and there are a large number of trade stands including agricultural machinery, new cars, clothes, crafts, food etc."

"It is a day out for all the family and providing toilet facilities for so many people is a real challenge. Of course there are the usual Porta Potty units around the grounds but a mens urinal near the bar area is a priority. These urinals have been home-constructed and the plastic bowls appear to be those used on farms to provide a supply of drinking water to cows. Each one has an outlet which feeds into a large-diameter drainpipe below. The arrangements are simple and effective but barely adequate for the number of men on site. It was quite a challenge to obtain these photographs with the constant flow of users."
