Newbury - Communal toilets at the Slug and Lettuce (Previously the Hog's Head)

This amusing photograph which shows the rear of the Hog's Head has recently appeared on a local Facebook page. The Hog's head is currently closed and will reopen rebadged as the Slug and Lettuce. This is not a permanent fixture in this location, they are to be installed in the refurbished toilets.
Presumably the lifebelt is a requirement for any patrons who happen to fall into the canal.
With the shutting of public conveniences one wonders where the homeless community of Newbury will be left to choose for their toiletry needs overnight ? Can't see many of the hostelries welcoming them, which could mean the pavements becoming even more hazadous beyond just dog fouling.
