There are still one or two scattered about, I don't know why most of them were removed. They were very handy for us gents and cost very little to maintain. I knew a little Irish chap who's name was Jerry. He went round on his push bike cleaning them. All he had was a length of hose, a bucket, a broom and some disinfectant.
I think he cleaned all the urinals in Birmingham, I think that his wages and expenses must have been to total cost of their maintenance at that time I bet the total wages & costs couldn't have been more than £5000 per year.
This one is still in use today, its in Vyse Street in the Jewellery Quarter. The fist photo is a good few years back and the second is recent.
