This is a beloved relic of the past. It calls to mind the many magic moments of bliss that one once enjoyed here while often it may well be the cause of suffering today!
The closed public conveniences behind the amusement arcade on the prom. Some good stonework for such a functional building. How long before it s demolished and the granite vanishes , I wonder?
I knew this wouldn t take long to be identified! Well done, BoP! Never mind the granite! What about the urea crystals forming while we await its re-opening? duh
That s a relief. There are occasions when there are no toilets between the Penzance harbour and the Newlyn harbour, which has prevented people from actually going to Newlyn - I have overheard the conversations - this building is a classic of its day - surely it would not take that much to channel its use to alleviate the flushed facesof the public.
I have been trying to date the building, as it does not figure on the plans by Cowell and Drewitt for the Pavilion; it looks similar to the Baths that were on the Promenade (Esplanade) and therefore could be by Oliver Caldwell.
