So even the ugliest looking of public lavatories will fall victim to economies.
I have to confess I never even knew these ones existed but as part of his continued plan to capture our closed conveniences Andy Robertson snapped them earlier this week adding “these were the public loos for Stretford Arndale or the ex public loos for Stretford Mall.
They have been closed for at least 10 years possibly even 20 and replaced by ones inside the building. The old ones were the best because they were free, now costs 48 old pennies!”
And with that nostalgic comment Andy moved off looking for more which will appear in the fullness of time.
Now there is of course a series point to the exercise, for not only are they a little bit of our history but also they are a public piece of history, opened in more optimistic times and in the case of the Victorian and Edwardian predecessors provided as part of that civic provision.
