They've been transformed through the years for entirely new purposes
Only certain generations will remember when public toilets were common on Britain's streets. Now more of a rarity, public toilets began appearing on streets in Liverpool and across the UK in the Victorian era as a response to years of unsanitary 'befouling' of public spaces. Essential when many homes didn't have enough facilities, the Victorian toilets were often built underground in urban areas where there was limited space above ground.
Now known as the former Sergeant Peppers restaurant, the building was a bus office and public toilet in its former life. It was immortalised in the Fab Four’s classic Penny Lane with the lyric: “Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout.' Since the restaurant closed over 20 years ago, the building has remained empty and has been subject to speculation as to its future. Despite standing disused for years, up until 2011 this public toilet building was a familiar sight on Park Road.
