My house is an old one with fairly old plumbing to match. Current taps in the kitchen were of the Bibcock type so during a kitchen makeover it was decided to go with Bibcock instead of the more popular and fashionable "Mixer" type tap. This wasn't easy because very few stores had the Bibcock variety. Heritage came to the rescue and the result was very satisfactory. I would add the delivery of the taps was very satisfactory!
