Should have taken a photo but when we moved into our place I removed the open fire from the dining room and sitting above it was the equivalent of about 5 sacks of soot. It had been an old inglenook fire which they had just put an ordinary fire into and pointed up so there was a massive ledge and gap directly above.
 
Changed a tap connector washer on this basin on my way home earlier

1980's bathroom done that way to comply with the water regs.
Up until the change in the water regs you had to have the warning pipe in a visible position where the owner would get it attended to. That was visible.
Country pattern (8") syphons were illegal (but widely used) as most people would let them run for years wasting water. Much the same as modern flush mechanisms now do.
Another old one was a connection to a bath overflow where the toilet would overflow into the bath so you would get it fixed.

Penthouse red or blue and harvest gold were a couple of beauties. Some mad colours were out in the 70's and 80's. You couldn't give a white one away. Nobody wanted one :lol:

I remember my dad fitting our maroon acrylic bathroom suite in the 80's, it even had a cool colour-matching acrylic shelf with mirrored sliding door compartments mounted along the top. My mates were well jealous.
