There was a problem with incipient damp in the Pyramid Guest Room until c 1925 when advances in mastic ensured a healthier atmosphere and sheets that rustled. The presence of masked guests in the snaps (in Chinese Costume) later on does not suggest a scandal or a shameful act. The very fact that at the throw of a switch, reasonable and secure accommodation could approach the vicinity of Astle's Aquarium, ensuring a high standard of bedtime behaviour among Guests. It has to be admitted that at Weekend Parties, the idea of accommodation under the earth, and in close proximity to a large body of water was not attractive. If you keep activating the drainpipe, you will ensure a sure passage to the Tanks, the Soot Man and the Cheerful Jock with two charming Personnages to guide your way. |
