The largest bathroom salvage yard in the world – now on video

pam kueber - April 24, 2010, Updated: July 20, 2010

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.


Breaking News: New video now available from Miscellanea Discontinued Bathroomware — aka Broken Bog — the largest bathroom fixture salvage yard in Britain and, I imagine, the world. I am going to England for vacation this summer, and hope to visit. Yes. “What did you do on your summer vacation?” Ummm: “I went to see 50,000 old tubs, toilets and sinks — it was heaven.”

    If you get as far North as Aberdeen in Scotland, you’re welcome to drop in for a cuppa with us and see our Mid Century Modern butterfly roofed house. Best regards, Gavin

    Hey Pam, you never came to see us last summer! I only just saw your post on here, sorry or I would have offered you a cup of tea – maybe that would’ve swung it? Anyway, let me know if you get over here again. We get a lot of interest from the US through your site so we owe you a guided tour at the very least!

      Yes, Sam, I looked at it on a map and it was just a wee too far for me. Next time, for sure!

    How many toilets can you fit into a suitcase? I don’t think it would look suspiscious 🙂 I think you could easily come up with an explanation at airport security.
