  Liverpool Street:  Mote Bulwark and pissoir
  The Mote Bulwark on the cliff face below Dover Castle (top) and what is believed to be an army drill hall being built off what is now Townwall Street, before the Second World War. An unusual feature of the picture is the small structure, bottom left. This appears to be a French style pissoir (wc.)  This was not far from another pissoir, of different design, near to Old St James Church and the junction of Woolcomber Street and Maison Dieu Road, until just after the Second World War.
  That once well known feature was destroyed by Council workmen, inspite of efforts to preserve it. The explanation apparently being that these men pulled down the wrong urinal!   A keen eye may also spot another feature -- a line of towels hanging up to dry. These are believed to be connected with the adjoining beach huts shown in their winter storage yard.
