As with many of the public toilets in Sheffield, these were built by Sheffield Corporation Tramways primarily to serve the tram drivers at tram termini. Consequently, they were male toilets. The council later built female toilets, which are not visible in the picture. The Heavygate toilets are particularly interesting in that they are a two-storey structure. Visible is the top floor, the male toilets. The female toilets are in the lower floor, accessed from Fir Street down the steps at the side. In the picture is a student filmcrew who were making a documentary about public toilets in Sheffield.
