Alas no more and fiendishly bricked up to make the point
Anyone ever used these ? Nice Liver birds too.
Guess what is in the auction.....
The toilets at Lark La /Aigburth Rd are up for sale .. at last ! i don't know who in their right mind would want to purchase this building , the immediate area around it stinks to high heaven , due to the alkies dominating it , i was made up when the council removed the bench they used for their daily sessions , at least we will be able to stand & wait for a bus without retching
it'll be intersting to see what the building or perhaps land will be used for .

There is an underground toilet in Manchester converted to a bar. Not sure if it still smells of piss or you just imagine it.
Yuk ,
John i couldn't imagine a good p*ss up in there .

The underground toilets in Eastbank Street, Southport were closed a few years ago as being too unhealthy for their purpose.
Now they're a restaurant!
Here in Liverpool, the toilets in Catharine Street, near Myrtle Street are the "Eatwell" take-away food shop.
oh eh Phil ,
It's getting worse , I'll be looking at all eating establishments now.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of the Lark la /Livingston Dr Loo's .

Don't forget and check the ingredients on the 'chocolate log' wrapper.

and here's a couple of pic's of the circular toilets in Derby Square, pretty ornate, dont you think?:shock:
source-L.R.O.
I,ve been in that one too before they buried it under the pavement. Always very clean and sparkling. When you went for a poo you used to have to wrap it up first in pretty wrapping paper and put a bow on it.:shock:
hello Karen, nice to see you again:hug:
There were circular underground toilets in Williamson Square and by Princes Park Gates (where the roundabout is).
Some local comedians called them the "Magic Roundabouts".
Anybody know where the "Garden of Allah" was?
Was it by the Mecca bingo Phil?
I was a bit slow there, Ged! :PDT11Quote:

Which is the ideal time to say that the last Mecca Bingo in a former Merseyside cinema is in Southport. (The former Garrick/Essoldo).
The big Art Deco one on Lord st?
That's the one.Quote:

Starting at the corner of Suburban rd, there was the record shop called 'Kittos' - they sold sweets and icecream too. We used to love that shop 'cos you could buy your records at the same time as buying your sweets with your pocket money :)
There were a couple of houses, then another shop on the next corner of the entry and the Bowlie. This shop was called 'Erics' and sold everything from soap powder to potatoes.
Those toilets were almost next door to the shop ! More in line with the backyard of the shop though.
Come to think of it, they must have had to endure the pong going over into their backyard and kitchen window :eek: lol !
The shops were closed and turned into houses many years back, the row of houses are still there - - but not the toilets, thankfully !! :D
I remember the shop owners very well. I remember Mr & Mrs Kitto.
Also Eric and his wife and daughter Yvonne.

The Catharine Street conveniences as 'Eatwell Takeaway' - SEP 2007
The Toilets at Livingston Dr /Aigburth Rd have been withdrawn from the auction list , Wonder if it's been sold prior to Auction ,
Karen
someone must have been p***** off waiting for it to open ha ha
There use to be some underground toilets at the intersection of Everton rd, West Derby rd and Brunswick rd opposite the old Hippodrome cinema by Grant gardens
Well this is a very interesting thread indeed! It's very sad that most of the public conveniences have now closed but this is due to the vandalism etc.
I can say that I used to use the Roscoe Street conveniences quite frequently on my way to and from work. It was wuite a part of my daily routine, leave for work, get a paper and a pint of milk and pop into the Roscoe's, reading my Post while I make my delivery... I even met my first wife shortly after leaving the Roscoe's one afternoon, sitting on the steps at St. Luke's as we both ate our lunch, Summer 1989...
Sad news the day they closed down.
It doesn't surprise me that they are now closed as many times during my daily / twice daily visits I have witnessed a stray log (i.e. one that missed the pan). I also witnessed a group of lads deliberately draining their bladders on the tiled floors and even a man delivering a log into a urinal because he would not wait for a sit down to become available.
Pure filth these people - - - Blame them for the closure of the publics.
May I also say that I never had the fortune of using the Derby Square conveniences but how proud I would have been to make a delivery in there.
They were all closed down because the Council wouldn't continue financing them.
Lime Street Station have just started charging 30p. :PDT_Piratz_26:
It always used to be free!
It is sad to think that you should have to pay 30p (or any price for that matter) just to deliver muck. After all it's only nature. I've a feeling that this, in time there will be a massive problem with log dropping in the street. At the moment, a few conveniences still remain but it won't be long til they have all closed.
I used to actually feel quite at home when making a delivery at the Roscoe's, I got used to the feel of the cheap toilet paper, got used to the smell, even got to know some of the regular Roscoe users and the cleaner.
I spent a lot of time over the years 'on the pans' and at the urinals of the Roscoe's. We will never see their like again.
VSRY SAD
You could even use the toilet paper to trace the cartoons out of the morning paper and upon realising you'd used the last piece of tracing/toilet paper you could then use the morning paper to actually wipe your arse.
This thread really has reached the bottom now!
