Derby Square - Old Vaults

Paradise Street was certainly paradise for sailors.
There were more brothels there than anywhere else.
No accident (pardon the pun) that the VD clinic was there.

I never knew there was a clinic there QS, where was it?

The clinic, 'the seamans dispensary' was in Cleveland Square it only became an STD clinic in the late 60s.

I was going to bump up the Schools thread, but that's ended up being another one-liner thread.
Wonder what the casual viewer thinks of Yo! these days?

Anyway, back on topic.
Sort of.
Why were toilets only provided for Gents in the old days, but nowadays there always queues for the Ladies?

In the early days it was not 'Lady Like' to use public toilets nor was it 'Lady Like' to be seen drinking in public houses, hence the lack of need for 'Ladies Conveniences'........... a different image of today,

It's a lesser known natural history fact, that there were more crabs at Cleveland Square, than around the rocks of New Brighton's lighthouse.
