There's a lot of building work being done to the old Victorian toilet at commonside.. anyone know what it's going to be?

There was an article in The Star in June...

These old public loos are set for a new lease of life, after an investor spent much more than a penny. The former toilets on Commonside, in Walkley, which have been closed and boarded up for many years, were bought for £60,000 at auction - well above the £40,000-£50,000 guide price. They could now be transformed into a shop and offices by the new owner, with plans to redevelop them having already been approved last November.

It’s going to be a dessert / bakery kind of shop from what I’ve heard.

I know the guy who sold these toilets and I was offered them for £18k about a year before they went up for auction but turned them down like an idiot!

Blonk Street toilet is being built on right now, presumably as some kind of cafe.

Hope it attracts a better type of clientele.

The pies will be nice apparently, but the beer will taste like -

A while back I thought it could be a LGBT cafe venue, called the Lady Bridge Cottage.

Noticed work has started here again and the front has been opened out.

 

As well as the cost of buying the plot which was quite a bit from memory it seems a lot of work will need to be done to make it into something usable.

 

does anyone know what is going to be?
