I recall the railing and the male and female loos at virtually opposite ends of the street
Beautiful view now

except that there were two waist height iron railings around entry and exit stone steps down to the public toilets,about 20 metres apart.
This area above the loo’s,was occupied by local farmers,and wives selling their wares every Saturday,and of course was a very welcome ‘Comfort Break’on a long day’s trading
all day.
