The enlargement of this convenience, which was found
necessary almost immediately after the opening of the
original structure, in consequence of the large demand for
accommodation, was completed by the Contractors and

Shaftesbury Avenue.
The question of the retention of a water closet for
men and women in this convenience, as well as in that in
New Oxford Street, free of charge, was again under the
consideration of the Board, who finally resolved to discontinue
allowing the free use of the same in consequence
of the abuse and ill-usage to which they were put,
and they were accordingly closed to free use on the 27th
day of January, 1896.
