During my 50-odd years, it has been typical of all the 1930's housing
around here for all the cold taps in the house to be mains fed, so

In a couple of 1920s/30s houses I have occupied the only mains water was
at the kitchen sink, everything else came from a header tank in the
loft or airing cupboard.

Our 1948 council house was like that.
