The house was equipped with a secret ‘tea chute’ behind the walls where the loose tea was stored away from prying eyes.

I don’t suppose anyone has done a study in Victorian urinals in Newcastle have they? They were everywhere… like, absolutely everywhere. Here’s 4 examples below in areas you might recognise.
They were apparently quite ornate, though I doubt folk too many photos of them…

Spotted this morning - the holy grail of postboxes at Bedlington. Not sure if it’s definitely the recipient of the first penny black stamp, but the village certainly was. Still, it’s one of the earliest postboxes in Northumberland. #PostboxSaturday

Seaton Sluice harbour in 1961 with the WW2 concrete barge that had just arrived & would eventually end up on the opposite side being used to narrow the harbour entrance to prevent the harbour silting up. There's a number of large pit heaps on the horizon.
