Full Description

Public conveniences built c1901. The public conveniences were built as part of Victoria Embankment which was constructed by the Nottingham Corporation along the north side of the River Trent between Trent Bridge and Wilford Bridge. Victoria Embankment was designed and constructed by Arthur Brown, the City Engineer, and was opened on 25 July 1901 by Alderman Lambert, who was Chairman of the Public Parks Committee. It is not known whether or not Arthur Brown designed the public conveniences. They are not shown on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map of 1901 but they are depicted on the OS map of 1916 adjacent to the Town Arms (1869-71) which was rebuilt by Marriott Ogle Tarbotton, Borough Engineer, and is now known as The Riverbank public house. The public conveniences have been closed since 2006. (HE List Description)
