I think these actually went up in ’96 or ’97! I was working down that end of town at the time. I remember noting their absence on Streetview recently.

To be fair, they became squalid almost immediately. A lack of cleaning combined with York’s…lively evening denizens and their favourable pub crawl location meant the inevitable piss-fest was not long in coming.

Think it’s only been there 20 or 30 years? Like the Peasholme Centre not far away, also relatively modern, and demolished. Seems we built a few things in the late 20th century which weren’t ‘fit for purpose’ for very long!

I vaguely recall that somewhat inconvenient positioning of the ladies and gents conveniences at opposite ends of Parliament Street.
