Public Urinals.
The urinal in Hunter Mews, which was built into the
side wall of the house No. 11, Handel Street, and projected
over a portion of the area of the said house, became, in consequence
of the re-building of a part of the premises, in a
very unsafe condition, and your Board, taking into consideration
I he complaints received in respect of the urinal,
ordered its demolition.
The premises No. 9, Little Guilford Street, being pulled
down for re-building, involved the removal of the urinal
built against the wall of the premises at the entrance
into Bernard Mews. Your Board thereupon entered into
negociation with the Freeholders of the property, the
Governors of the Foundling Hospital, for a site for the
erection of a new urinal in the immediate vicinity, and
ultimately the Governors agreed to lease to the Board, at a
rental of £1 per annum, a piece of land on the east side of
Little Guilford Street, north of No. 15, for the purpose.
A new urinal with accommodation for 4 persons has since
been erected there, and was opened to the public on the
13th April, 1895.
