THAT gents toilet!

            Bewdley Station cast iron gents toilet as seen on TV!
Made by George Smith (great name!) Glasgow.

A new Men's Toilet was inserted between the main buildings and the Station Masters Office at Bewdley in 1896 and was accessed from Platform 1, whilst the Ladies were behind this and could be accessed from the Booking Hall or Waiting Room. Both rooms have different uses today, having been superseded by the modern facilities in the buffet building.

At around the same time, a cast iron toilet was installed on the island platform. This was demolished during the British Rail period and the current example was relocated to the site from Melrose station in Scotland 1977. Unfortunately, due to modern health and safety regulations, it was closed in 1998, but is retained as a distinctive fixture.
