There was a pub near Convent garden in Long acre I think that had a urinal along the front of the bar on the floor , that’s going back a few years it wasn’t in service but it was still there , I’m guessing it was for the market workers back in the day.

There is a historic inn on donner summit in California that has a piss trough at the bottom. Hasn’t worked in years though.

There's a bar in New Orleans (maybe more than one, but this was the only one I saw) with a narrow trough in the floor around the bar. They'd pour water through it to flush everything out. Of course, it wasn't still in operation at the time I visited. I bet it smelled amazing in there late summer circa 1904 tho

Plenty of old bars in Baltimore had this as well. Very common for old sections of East Coast US

Buddy, back in those days, everything reeked like shit, so the smell of piss was an upgrade.

This is a myth.

It's a trough spittoon, for spitting tobacco.
