The iron Urinal in Leicester Square having been in want of
considerable repairs, it was thought advisable to erect upon the
same site one of better construction. The slate urinal in Whitehall,
opposite Whitehall Place, was therefore removed to this site, as
in consequence of the opening of the Underground Conveniences in
Charing Cross, it was not required in its former position.
Extensive repairs, consisting of a re-construction of the floor
and drainage arrangements, have been carried out to the Urinal in
Charing Cross Road.
A new Urinal has been erected in York Place upon property
belonging to the South Eastern Railway Co, who have conditionally
granted the site to the Vestry. This Urinal is of brick supported
by iron columns over the court-yard of the South Eastern Hotel
Annex, with asphalte floor, glazed brick lining and slate divisions,
the whole having been erected at a cost of £168 15s. 0d.
