The Urinals of Oxford Town Hall

Oxford Town Hall serves as the seat of local government for the city of Oxford, England.


"The Oxford Town Hall is located on St Aldate's in the centre of Oxford, England. The site was previously occupied by Oxford Guildhall. It is a meeting place for local government in the city and also houses the Museum of Oxford. In addition, it can be hired for events. Despite the fact that Oxford is a city with its own cathedral, the term "town hall" is still used.

"The first Guildhall was built on the site in 1292. This was replaced by a Town Hall in 1752, built by Isaac Ware, which was demolished in 1893 to make way for the current building. Following a design competition, the present winning Gothic Revival design was by Henry Thomas Hare."


These photos were submitted by Jeff. He writes: "I suppose that once upon a time there would have been a long foot-level porcelain trough, now modernised to six man-height and four boy-height individual urinals..."
