EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 12th July 1984, we witness a truly groundbreaking moment in Coventry's history. The world's first computerised musical loo has arrived in town, and the excitement is palpable. Standing inside the lavatory at West Orchard car park is David Tunnicliffe, an enthusiastic 18-year old who couldn't resist joining in with its melodious tunes. London-based firm Street Equipment brought this revolutionary toilet concept to Coventry, aiming to capture the attention of local councils. The image captures David surrounded by cutting-edge technology that was far ahead of its time - a testament to the rapid advancements taking place during the vibrant era of the 1980s. This photograph not only showcases technological innovation but also highlights how public spaces were being transformed by modern conveniences.
