SU1787 : St Margaret's garage and disused public conveniences, Highworth Road, Stratton, Swindon
taken 6 years ago, near to Stratton st Margaret, Swindon, England
St Margaret's garage and disused public conveniences, Highworth Road, Stratton, Swindon
At the right is a small Council-owned building housing long-disused public conveniences. The conveniences are due to be demolished in the near future, so, unloved and unwanted as they seem to be, they will soon be forgotten. It is only right that this modest building should be memorialised in some way so this photo and a couple of others will suffice for that purpose.
The adjacent garage seems also to be unused but isn't owned by the Council so might well remain for the time being.

Demolition of public conveniences and other buildings in Swindon
Recently the local authority announced plans to demolish several disused buildings in Swindon including some old shop and office premises and three public conveniences. None of the buildings are of any significant architectural merit and no doubt will soon be forgotten. It seems only right to provide a visual record for future generations to wonder at.
