As children [and since mine] we had a large house with a row of

side but we did have our own seat ~~[quite hygienic] ours was lower than
those for the adults. It backed onto a small garden and the spoil, dug out
from the rear of the building, was spread in a running trench by the
gardener.

We have a "two-holer" at one corner of the veggie plot. Sadly it's been
without a roof for many years and the ivy is doing its worst. The stone
over the doorway collapsed last year

I'm planning to repair it and resurrect it as a toolshed though. At
least it will still be contributing to the garden in some small way.
