Roedean toilets, Brighton. Twisted pipe Dauntless Rubberline

On my recent trip to Brighton I walked past the Roedean Café along cliftops towards Rottingdean. There where no public toilets marked here on my map and the Brighton & Hove City Council website doesn't state toilets either.
The café looks like it was built between the 1930s to 1950s and there was an open gold course behind. I decided to have a closer look. Behind the building was a gateway and there was overflow pipes out of the building. They might have been in either the café or a set of unmarked toilets. I decided to investigate and walked past the ladies toilets and then found the men's.
Inside I came across two toilets, twisted pipe with black Dauntless Rubberline cisterns! The urinal was stainless steel, possible replaces an older one but also with a Dauntless cistern. This was a lucky find as I could have walked past without even finding them. They are most likely for the users of the gold club and if they ever did belong to the council they don't now.

Looks like the urinal even has a twisty pipe also.

Great flush esp on the first toilet,the water even went past the rim!

@breadcrub I love the look of Twisted Pipe Dauntless. It looks good in any setting.

@smoogie7 I agree with you very much :-)

@dauntless486 I would if there wasn't work going on inside. I am never one to miss one unless they are out of bounds. I have a plan to sneak into a 'changing room' building in a Bournemouth field. These I can imagaine will be in use when there are sports on and I even have a feeling after doing a survey of the building there are concealed high levels. I can see the cistersn through a window yet there are hints of it being a back room. I would need a closer look to be certain.

Another Good Find. That First Toilet Is a Real Swirler

@dauntless486 you mean Aldrington Rec? I checked that place a few months back. Inside the men's, a toilet had been put in and the urinals removed. The old toilet was closed off but I looked under the door and guessed a toilet was there and on the floor was a black shires lid. I walk round the building and the builders where doing some work in the changing rooms next door and I could see a black twisted pipe shires inside. B&H City council must have removed the one in the men's.

@smoogie7 Theres a very old one on wish road Rec (portlade) that seems to be still open which I found on google maps but is it the closed one along portland road?

[smoogie7]

Also one along Portland Road in Hove (that is a busy road so I have no idea why they closed these), 3 under the arches along the seafront, one by West Peir where there is a portable toilet in place, one near the band stand and another only gives any indication that there was a toilet there due to a disabled sign.

Also at Rottingdean seafron is a very good 30s looking building bricked in and peeling paint.

So yes, I have become familer with the toilets of Brighton & Hove

@dauntless486 I have been in most of the ones owned by Brighton & Hove city council. The only ones I havn't seen where some multi story car parks (Black Lion Street & one near the main shopping area), ones that apear on the map at Vale Park, anm open space in Portslade & maybe some suburban ones.

A few are sadly closed such as St James Street in the 'gay district' (I wonder why), Weston Road (which where underground and converted into shops)
