you mean the village of Twyford in Hampshire, England, i presume.
"Twyford" means "two fords." Since the middle ages, there have been numerous mills and fords on the River Itchen there, and they have constituted the foundation of the local economy.

Hi,
Twford urinals, bogs, and basins, were & I think still are, made in Twyford.
As for Amitage Shanks, perhaps he does, & Barclays Bank a lot.
"Tyford Toilets" might be better
If you mean the place name, perhaps they named it after the bog-ware ?
Cheers, must go.
Bob
