Betty and Robert Thewlis were delighted when workmen at last finished alterations to their house. For 10 years they had shared their front door with the entrance to a public lavatory built right next door to their home in North Shields. Sometimes women wanting to spend a penny; would end up in their living room. Tynemouth Councils Cleansing Department stepped in and built a completely separate entrance on the lavatory side of the semi. They even constructed a separate path to the lavatory entrance so that women would not inadvertently go into the Thewlis home. The ladies sign which had hung over their front door has also been moved. 41-year-old Mrs Thewlis is the lavatory attendant and sometimes after she has locked up for the evening people still bang on their for saying they want to spend a penny. North Shields, North Tyneside, Tyne and Wear. 6th April 1970
