Heh, I too remember those toilets on Union Street. Yes they wer a horrible brown coloured tile.

My Dad and I used to meet my mum there after she had done the shopping. That was before everyone had mobiles to say exactlly where they were.

I also remember they STUNK!!!

Just had a thought Accy will never have an arcitectural problem to math the "Concrete Town" of Cumbernauld 80% of its buildings look like Buchans built em.
 
The only sort of good thing about the bogs on Union Street was that paying them a visit on a Saturday morning after a booze filled Friday either killed you or cured you.

I have no idea Tealeaf, I would have thought that under today’s regime; The Panopticon Bog’s is something that gets dumped on us by HBC rather than something provided by HBC for us to dump in……………………..

I recall they were built around 1970/71, so we can't blame HBC for them; that honour goes to the old Accrington Borough Council. When first opened, the building featured in several newspapers under the title of the Accy Superloo. A normal ladies & gents could have been built for around £5,000 at the time, but that cost £20,000pds and lasted for aprox.15years.

However, upon the demise of ABC, HBC soon took up the race to be the local authority with the greatest number of wacky and money wasting schemes....the fountains, the cog, the Broadway redevelopment,blah, blah,blah...you name 'em, because there's too many to remember for me..

However, beware HBC...there's someone else coming up close behind you....yep, you've guessed it....the MPA:rolleyes:
 
I'm begining to get worried about you lot, loitering about this part of the thread!

Oh hell, I’m going to contradict one of our foremost gentlemen. However, I believe they went up in or around 1967/68 Tealeaf, most likely 68.

No Sir, your wrong on this occasion. I know you don't do it often, but on this one I may fear you are. The close up photograph in this thread was evidently taken in 1968....I spent most of the afternoon looking for the book and it defiantly states 69......Don't shout at me........ Please... :)

I'm with Doug on this. I'm fairly sure those loos were built in the 60s because of remembering where I was at the time.

What is your problem? This thread has absolutely nothing to do with art, panopticons, melas or any other MPA related thing, so why, why, why, have you dragged it up again? You clearly have some sort of agenda to knock it for absolutely no reason. If you can justify, even remotely, why you have brought up the subject of MPA in this thread I would love to hear it.
