This is a fine old example of a classical brick public convenience and I would guess it must date from about the 1920s. As a vintage brick outhouse, and one of the few remaining in this loo-less land, it is qyuite fitting it should be preserved and refurbished.

May I endorse the previous comment. The late Victorian era saw some superb examples of public conveniences built to serve the populace. Some of these were graced with mosaic tiled floors, marble fittings and beautifully ornate decorative ironworks. I would like to see a suitable specimen dismantled, rather than destroyed as many have been, and reconstructed stone-by-stone in a suitable large museum, as a non-functional exhibit. A fine full-colour book, the title of which passes me by now, recently bore testimony to these fine Victorian WC"s, with superb colour photgraphs of surviving examples. Fine if mundane examples of our national heritage should ALWAYS be preserved where possible.
