Title: Bath toilet block to be sold at auction Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 14, 2010, 02:20:18 From the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-11981304):
Quote A former public toilet block in Bath, close to the city's cricket ground, is to be auctioned with a starting price of ^20,000. Network Rail wants to sell the public convenience and 0.023 acres of surrounding land. The unusual property is described as a "stone-built single storey former public convenience arranged beneath a pitched tiled roof". The auctioneers say the site "may afford potential for redevelopment". They also point out the lavatories are built on a site that is "irregular shaped with frontage on to North Parade Road and Pulteney Road". The toilets go on sale on Thursday, 16 December in London.

All cisterns go for what appears to be a far from bog-standard auction. I hope the winning bidder will be flushed with success and trust that their redevelopment plans won't go down the pan.

Is that not a "toilet block"?
