The cast iron urinal is now a thing of rarity. Bristol had three such examples of Victorian providence, and this one is Grade II listed - and apparently still open to customers. Originally it appears to have been installed a little further to the south in around the early 1880s, before arriving here a few years later. See Image] for a detail.
