The demolition of the neighbouring building offers a rare view of the complete building. This was actually built as a combined fire station and public convenience (using the two front doors on either side) and closed in 1960 when Image was opened. It is now used as a storeroom. The toilets themselves closed in 2007. The history of the building is told in detail here: http://www.wintonforum.co.uk/firehistory.html
