BLYTH LINKS ROAD NZ 37 NW (EAST SIDE) 5/122 Public lavatory, out-building and enclosing walls, to east of Link House GV II Engine house for Defence Electric Light installation, 1914-19, now public convenience. Brick in English Bond with concrete dressings and reinforced concrete roof. Rectangular building in sunk walled enclosure with outbuilding to north. Single storey, 6 bays: projecting porch at left end (now inscribed 'LADIES'), 4 windows, reduced in size, with stop-chamfered lintels; Gents' doorway on right return is later insertion. Slightly-pitched roof with overhanging eaves. Enclosing wall with pitched coping, extended to north-west to flank curving approach; end piers with pyramidal caps; flight of steps at south-west corner. Embayment in north wall, with later concrete roof, housed cooling tanks; embayment on east with bases for petrol and oil tanks.
