Description

This is an early 20th-century urinal located in Thorn Park, Mannamead, Plymouth, designed by McFarlane of Glasgow. It is made of cast iron and features a roof with verge cresting and a small dog gargoyle. The urinal has an ovoid plan and a single stall with an entrance that spirals in. The external panels display geometric patterns and are topped with a vertical-slatted ventilator. Inside, the stall includes a bull's eye building mark by Jennings.

It experiences an average of 9 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 92% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
