Description
Public lavatories built in 1897 by the London and North-Western Railway. The structure is below ground and entirely tiled in green and white wall tiles, with a chequered black and white floor. There are three entrances above ground: two for gentlemen and one for ladies, enclosed by cast-iron railings on low tiled walls, along with cast-iron gates featuring overthrows. The roof is made of cast iron with thick glass lights.
The gentlemen's lavatory has a symmetrical layout with entrances at either end, a lower entrance, and a central arch. It features two rows of eight urinal stands with marble tops from Doulton's of London, Paris, and Paisley, seven closets, and an attendant's office with chamfered panelled doors and screens beneath decorative vents. There are also similar vents in the walls and circular vents by the cisterns.
The ladies' lavatory is simpler but includes the same panelling, doors, and cast-iron vents. It contains six cubicles and an attendant's room, with a panelled section that has handbasins. The actual lavatories and cisterns have been modernized.
