Wednesday marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Thomas Crapper, the man who revolutionised the flushing lavatory.
The company he founded still exists, being run from a country estate in Warwickshire.
It is owned by a businessman who sold his vintage car collection to stop the company going under.
Phil Mackie went to meet Simon Kirby and look behind the scenes at Thomas Crapper & Co.
