They used to sell human excrement in Victorian times. What they used it
for I do not know.


And long after Victoria too !

I recall processed excrement being sold by the UDC treatment plants dirt
cheap in sacks as fertiliser
in the 1950's.

Processed sewage that was full of heavy metals?

As recently as the 1980's, growers in Stirlingshire could get the
septic-tank service to pump the contents of domestic septic tanks onto
their land.
