Photogenic Convenience
A brick construction dating back to 1943 (ACC=Auckland City Council). Well maintained with simple tile work inside. No 594 Great North Road, Grey Lynn.
It appears that I am not the only one who shoots toilets…
To the right of the sushi shop is the Alonymous Gallery followed by Jo’s Stall; and the wall of the brick building on the left (ASBBank) also featured in an earlier post.…
Te Henga Dune Convenience
Suppose you are in the middle of nowhere on a sand dune like the one shown in yesterday’s post. And suppose nature calls. Then you will be relieved to find this place (just to the right of where the second image yesterday was taken).…

Pebble Mosaics, Huia Domain
The only decorative element at the Huia Domain conveniences is a simple set of pebble mosaics by the outside shower – not that you would need much additional decoration in such a splendid place as is Huia Bay.…
Convenience, Te Pai Place
This convenience, lovingly decorated with a spider’s web, is in Te Pai Place, Lincoln North. …
Old Sandringham Conveniences
Another art deco style toilet block bearing the initials of the Mount Albert Borough Council. While the facade looks quite attractive, the building is out of service, but never fear, a (less monumental) modern facility is close by.…
