Buildings often change their use and from time to time public toilet buildings are sold off
and maybe converted to
other use as in the following cases.
Lou’s View
In the 1990's an enterprising Scarborough businessman bought a rather
nice old Edwardian building from the local council when it became
redundant. Nestling into the side of
the cliff overlooking the North Bay, the building was ideal for use as a café
and he called it ‘Lou’s View’. It was
formerly a public toilet.
The Theatre of Small Convenience
Another disused toilet has also been put to good use at
Malvern in Worcestershire. A former
Victorian gents toilet now houses the world’s smallest commercial theatre. It covers and area of just 109 square feet
and seats just 112 people.
Holiday
toilets
In 2011 a builder paid more than £100,000 at auction for a redundant Victorian toilet
block on the sea front at Sheringham in Norfolk. Situated at the foot of the
cliff over the promenade alongside the beach, the builder intends to convert
the substantial building into a beach house for the use of his family.
