There used to be a long wooden bench there, but it was taken away ages ago, because of the "undesirables".
Hiya Philip ,
Glad you enjoyed your fish n chips . mmm i'm starvin now .
The Wino's have been back in force along there latley , They have their drinking session on the bench outside the spiritulist church , Then stagger to the closed toilets Do their buisness behind the toilet block , then stay there & think their putting the world to rights normally ending in arguments . I'm glad the building has sold . Anything it gets used for has to be better than it being left the way it is .
The stench is unreal by that bus stop.

Exmouth Street, Birkenhead town centre...
These toilets have been closed for some time. Being demolished this week.
Another good shi**er gone! This was one of my favourite sh*t houses on Wirral. It's right on the corner of Exmouth St. and Conway St. I'll never forget visiting one afternoon, (I was on a trip to the Birkenhead art gallery), I did the usual, went into the sit down, took a seat and began to deliver as I read my copy of the early edition Liverpool ECHO. After I left the cubicle, washed my hands and left, an elderly man came shouting after me, you forgot your paper. He handed it to me, I thanked him and continued on my way.
I recall an awfull stench in this particular shi**er, with pools of urine on the uneven tiled floor and a condom vending machine that looked like it hadn't worked for 30 years.
That was my last visit to this convenience. (Oct 2001)
It's confession time now.
I've been taking interior photos of toilets for a while now, and think I've got one of this.
Is (was) it opposite Yates's?

It was indeed opposite Yates's.
Photograph from a couple of months back...
Just had a quick look and can't find one.
Obviously, I can only take photos if these places are empty.
Liverpool Town Hall.
Original Victorian crapper.

Very nice Philip. I think anyone else having any should all poo l these together.
Those toilets in the Town hall are lovely - well, lovely isn't the word maybe ! attractive looking antique style.
Anyone got a photo of the most famous ones - the Philharmonic pub gents ?
HAPPY MEMORIES
This is a topic which really touches me... I find it so sad when I see that some of the places I spent my happiest times have all but dissapeared.
Another favourite of mine used to be the UNDIES on Scotland Road. I called them the Undies as they were underground but it was also a clever play on the word 'Underpants' I thought that one up one night on my way for a sneaky John Laird (Turd) at that very establishment.
I always remember using the old Roscoes one afternoon around four 'o' clock. I entered cubicle two only to be greeted by the brown stained underpants of a chap who didn't make it hanging over the uplifted toilet seat.
I was in dire straits, Should I move them? Should I leave them there? Should I take them with me? Maybe they would be good as new with a little TLC. In the end, I relocated myself to Cubicle one where I relieved myself, Oh! the sheer relief. I'd worked all day not far from the Pier Head, walked all the way to the Roscoes to deliver my muck in style.
Happy memories hey!
For any serious Public Toilet enthusiasts, you may be interested to know that I am proud to own one of the original Pull Chains, the one from Cubicle Three. I now have it in my own toilet at home, Not too far from it's original Home. I often wonder how many hands pulled that chain when I am sitting there making a first class delivery.
Ah, so you worked for the post office too then?
Stewy...
That's some tale that, but yes it is sad to see the old buildings going. Sometimes, it is the buildings you don't pay that much attention too, that you really miss when they are gone.
That's not a tail, it's the turd he was on about
I deliver lots of crap
