    I never knew this... thought they'd gone years ago. Was there one by the Rotunda too. Seem to remember that.

    I do remember seeing the sign for the one on Scotty Rd, wasn't it filled in though ?

    There's still signs for the ones under St John's Garden but wasn't they closed for some unsavoury reason ?

    It's great the way, free public toilets disappear for reasons like that. Councils just love any excuse to close down things they can't make at least a little bit of money from

    Once the shops have closed, the only options if u're caught short are paying 20p in the cubicles, 30p in Lime St. or buying a drink in a pub and going there.

    St. Johns gardens toilets,are still there,but out of use! It's the only part of the gardens where the original railings exist!
