A Gentlemen's Public Conveniece

A Grade II listed building

Built about 1905. Architect F.W. Lacey.
Red brick; rendering to plinth, cornice, consoles and dome, possibly on concrete.
A small circular structure part sunk below street, in wide debouchment of Shelbourne Close into Holdenhurst Road.
Edwardian Lutyenesque style, a round brick drum with four inclined brick
buttresses, set to plinth, and with plain architrave; to each of three faces two small slit windows, to the fourth a flight of steps down to panelled door, flanked by dwarf brick walls with decorative iron railings on stone coping.
Set in above drum on four consoles, a hemispherical dome to moulded cornice, and on each of four faces below to second drum, groups of 3 windows some with leading.
A witty and carefully detailed solution to a utilitarian structure.

Very difficult to photograph with all the cars and people around.
The convenience has been decommissioned which is just as well.
It is not very prudent to hang about public conveniences with a camera.
