Go back to page one of this thread and you will see a picture of a man attempting to cross the road nearest the camera. Lokk over the road and you will see a bust stop and to the left of it a man. Then you see a set of railings and that was the underground toilets.
Thought you were going to say " I'm that man" !

I was down in the archives the other day looking in the 1969 Hoylake Adviser for some other local research and stumbled upon this article about the fire. Hope you can read it?? If can't i'll add a clearer image to the picture a gallery!!
