Disused public toilet in Tottenham to open as High Cross pub

[Pickman's model]

Massive lot of council land in Hornsey turned into luxury flats and a Sainsbury's. I could go on but feeling a bit ranty

yeh there was the auld school at the bottom of wolseley road, not to mention the former garage on the broadway, o/s nelson road, which are the luxury flats i think you mean. the wolseley road ones were of course where the cops killed joy gardner.

I'm taking about the development on Hornsey high street where the recycling place was and a massive wasteland that used to be a car impound. Can't remember what was there before at Wolsey rd. Obviously remember Joy RIP I thought they were social housing though. Pickman's model

It's not open yet, and maybe your making the classic mistake of confusing Hornsey road with Hornsey high street in auld hornsey. Anyway there is now a fucking huge one next to campsbourne estate

There was a bar in Manchester that was previously a public toilet. Don't know if it's still going though.

There was a public toilet on Brooksby Walk in Hackney, it was converted into a café/bar called The Convenience and kept the men's urinals as a feature, they had stools (fnarr) and a table thing on top of them , went there once out of curiousity, it was very strange. It didn't last too long and the place then re-opened as something else , I haven't been there so no idea if they kept the urinals. They did keep the public loo as well, the old women's toilet was kept separate and was for use by all.

There's one Kentish Town near the Forum which was named Ladies&Gents
I used to go there when they were toilets, cocktail bars don't appeal to me much.
