In the olden days, there were no toilets inside the house.
Why do you think that was?
Instead there was a "potty" for the children and a commode chair for the parents. Would you be brave enough to help empty the potty in the morning?
How did people in the olden days wash their hands if there was no tap?
Buckingham House volunteer Jeannie Green shows us what people used instead of toilets, in houses over 100 years ago.
