I recall they were built around 1970/71, so we can't blame HBC for them; that honour goes to the old Accrington Borough Council. When first opened, the building featured in several newspapers under the title of the Accy Superloo. A normal ladies & gents could have been built for around £5,000 at the time, but that cost £20,000pds and lasted for aprox.15years.
However, upon the demise of ABC, HBC soon took up the race to be the local authority with the greatest number of wacky and money wasting schemes....the fountains, the cog, the Broadway redevelopment,blah, blah,blah...you name 'em, because there's too many to remember for me..
However, beware HBC...there's someone else coming up close behind you....yep, you've guessed it....the MPA
