Public convenience. c1905. 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

below to second drum, groups of 3 windows some with leading. A witty and carefully
detailed solution to a utilitarian structure.
