Sandringham

The Armitage Shanks Sandringham is a close coupled W.C that was generally used for residential use as well as being found in public places.

First Generation (1980-1988)
The Armitage Shanks Sandringham is a close coupled W.C that was generally used for residential use as well as being found in public places. The original AS Sandringham has become very rare, they flush with a distinctive Bubbly flush, ending with a unique triple afterflush. This has earnt it the nickname of the "Bubblr".

It was produced for 8 years and sold quite well. However, its successor outsold it massively.

Second Generation (1988-2002)
The second generation had a minor change, making the trapway larger. The second generation Sandringham sold extremely well during its lifespan. They were sold with Kensington cisterns, later having Compact cisterns. They were replaced with the Sandringham Plus and Universal. It is still relatively common today, though the S+ and S Uni have outnumbered the Bubblr for years now.

Third Generation (2001-2015)
In the late 1990s, Armitage Shanks acquited Qualcast, who made a toilet called the Tahiti. In 2001, they decided to redesign the Sandringham, taking elements from the Tahiti. It came in 3 variants. The Universal was a syphon flush variant. The Plus was a push button version, and the BTW was, well, a Back To Wall version. All 3 are still quite common in 2018.

Sandringham 21 (2012-Present)
The second major overhaul came in 2012.
