Didn't there used to an underground WC near to the North face of St George's Hall and St John's Gardens? I vaguely remember it in the late 60s/early 70s. I think the entrance is still there, but it's either closed off or gated up (scratches head). It's not far away from Merseyrail.

Oops! I meant South face of St George's Hall

Victoria Street.
I think this must be the only contemporary photo that makes a public toilet it's main subject.
It's by Freddy O'Connor and is in his book: "Liverpool: Our City - Our Heritage" (page 24).

I have never seen another pic of that either.
Nice.
Made a unique addition to that street when It was there anyway.

There were a set of underground toilets encased by railings on a triangular piece of land on the Holly Street, Christian Street, Richmond Row junction in the 1960s. I'm too young to remember of course but my older brother isn't, plus there's a slight pic of the railings in a pic I have.
There are some in Prescot. closed but very old. i will take a pic when im up there.
I hope this thread dont go down the pan
St John's Lane/St John's Gardens.
Ladies and Gents entrances.
The Gents still has its sign.
THANK YOU Philip! I have often been past them in the car and always wondered where they used to lead to. I was imagining some underground crypyt under St John's Gardens - now you've told me!
I remember the underground one's in Park Road - next to Black Georges - men's urinals - could smell 'em before you saw 'em!
Why aren't these Toilets refurbished? There not even building new ones to replace them.
What if Old peoples bladders go in the middle of the street? It will be because theres not toilets for them.

There used to be some in West Derby village by the bus stop next to the Sefton but they were maid into a hairdresser's. Heard they were something else again now but not sure.
Was also some in the St Oswalds gardens next to All Mankind on the Prescot road side
Roundabout at the top of the High street in Wavertree are still there arent they?
I Remember the ones underground in Victoria street but wasn't there underground ones in the old Clayton square as well or is my mind playing tricks?
The finest public toilets of the modern-age are these.
Yeah, you guessed it, they're for the toffs in London.
