This loo, the "Pepperpot", is on Holdenhurst Road, Springbourne; one of 89 listed by English Heritage. Built about 1905; entrance should be at the back, down steps to beneath the street. English Heritage describes it as "a witty and carefully detailed solution to a utilitarian structure", but unfortunately it is firmly padlocked; it is also not obvious what facilities there were for ladies!
