    There's recently been a newish public toilet installed at the top of Bold Street I think.

    There was one in Green Lane, built into the high concrete wall about opposite Derwent Rd. I walked down there last year and it was gone. That concrete wall was pock marked from machine gun strafeing in WW2, was left like that for years.

    At last!
    I get a chance to share this.
    I can't remember what I photocopied it from.
    Ken Martin is a Liverpool architect - responsible for the Conservation Centre.

    Public Toilets were everywhere.
    There were underground circular ones outside the Playhouse and where the roundabout is by Princes Park Gates.
    The old Tram Depot at the Dingle had them.
    The subway at Aigburth Vale.
    The old railings for the underground one at the Rotunda are still there - I keep meaning to take a photo.

    The railings of an underground convenience exist in Stanley Rd(I took a pic a few days ago...will post it tomorrow)
    An underground convenience existed in Upper Park Street.
    The Horsfall ramp(Sefton Street) contains toilets as far as I remember.
    The toilets on Aigburth Rd (near the library) still remain (not in use)

    There used to be underground toilets in London Road/Pembroke Place that were filled in in the late 1980s, when the new above ground ones were built.

    The Malta St one is the same one as Upper Park Street. This had 2 entrances with a thick bottle-glass skylight. Kids would throw fireworks through a smashed portion of the glass, for a louder explosion.

    Here's the railings on Stanley Rd.

    Thanks for the photo, Marky.
    They're the ones by the old Rotunda Theatre site.
    I wonder if they're the only (underground) cast iron ones left.

    The entrance to some on Smithdown Road (not underground), near Hartington Road is still there.
