There were some just off Leece Street, adjacent to St. Luke's Church. There are also some just beside the Liver Building - these were in use until recently but I'm not sure if they're still open.
A bit further afield were the undergrounds at Lord Street, Southport. These were vile and are now open as a wine bar or similar. I noticed this about 12 months ago... I haven't been to Southport for a while.
hmmm
thanks ross.
will have to actually get around to taking some pics of these this weekend, I have got a great little camera on my phone now, so I have no excuse!!
The Southport ones are a nightclub called 'Core' now.
They were a restaurant.
Wonder if they closed due to food poisoning?
Eatwell in Catharine Street used to be toilets.
Closed ones which still stand in Liverpool are in:
Leece Street.
St John's Lane.
Park Road (They were built for the market).
Aigburth Road, near the library.
The underpass at Aigburth Vale.
Next door to Speke Road Baths (the front wall survives),
and others which have been mentioned in this thread.
Did anyone mention the underground one in Parkway?
I went past so Aigburth ones near the Vale on that tunnel you use to cross the road.
Gididi Gididi Goo.
Only been in em once when I was caught short on my way home from school. The subway was notorious for muggings and the like but we never saw anything. In the gents there was an 'office' where presumably the caretaker sat...must have had a lovely smell while tucking in to his butties!!!
I believe this must be some pistake.
Picton Clock and Public toilets.
Nice, It looks very HDR.

I believe these toilets were where a certain Mr Epstein had his collar felt for cottaging. Was it called cottaging in those days?
You'd never have thought that there could be so much discussion about public conveniences. And it's nice to see that everyone's using the proper terms - no bogs or P*&S offices, not even toilets - just good old fashioned WCs and Public Conveniences.
The Southport toilets as a nightclub - I find that really funny.
And today I noticed that another part of Liverpool's Public Convenience History has been demolished - The facilities outside the Royal liver Building.
Pity I hadn't had chance to get a photo.
Remember though when public toilets were all over the place, now you can never find one. Council's are fed up with the damage and up-feep I guess. It seems you can now only find them in places such as shopping centres.
I know that in parts of Scotland I've visited the councils still provide the conveninces but charge 20p, I feel this is completely reasonable as the standards are always maintained and many have an attendant on duty at all times.
One thing I do find quite funny though is that you get a ticket when you go in - 20P ADMISSION, NON REFUNDABLE.
