Used to to be a useful commodity did urine, along with other animal excrements. Thinking dog shit for leather tanning, Guano, sheep shit for paper etc etc. Not sure what our piss was used for but I've a memory that saltpetre can be derived from it or something, and also used for leather.

Just around the corner from a good pub with a great selection of real beers as well.)
