Modernist convenience - a photo on Flickriver

            The public toilets in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, as they were sometime in March or April 1992.  From its design, I'm assuming it's comtemporary with the Caveman Restaurant (1933, Russell Page & Geoffrey Jellicoe) opposite (in fact, behind me), but it could easily be later.  I like the way that some thought and care has gone into deciding how this humble but necessary building should look.  The Google Street View of 2009 shows that it appears pretty much the same: the black detailing has been changed to green (an improvement, I think) but it has also acquired some garish signage.  The heavily-pregnant NP wife is looking at me and thinking "what on earth is he photographing now?".
