Grade II listed public conveniences located on Nelson Street.

Dating from 1926, these public toilets were constructed to serve the nearby Tram terminus on Nelson street and the Victoria Corporation ferry terminal which served as the Humber ferry crossing to New Holland. This set of conveniences is significant due to the fact that they provide for both men and women. At the time of construction, most public conveniences were male only. This structure represents an important change in the place of women in society.

The structure was listed due to its architectural and historical interest; retaining many of the original 1920s fixtures and fittings.

These facilities have regularly featured in the Loo of the Year Awards, and have been awarded the Golden Loo Brush of the Year Award.
