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 Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Bristol’s Steve Yabsley.

All proceeds from the book go towards refurbishing the toilet block on Durdham Downs.
