Victorian public toilet turned into boutique hotel

A Victorian public toilet closed for 17 years has reopened as a boutique hotel.
The Netty on St Giles' in Oxford has two suites, located down a flight of stairs, in the middle of a busy road.
The gentlemen's toilets were originally built in 1895, before closing in 2008 over safety concerns.
The site was bought by Oxford business owner Gwyn Harries-Jones, but successive development plans were never proceeded with, and it sat unused for 11 years before work on the hotel began.
It has kept a few original features, like the floor tiles, and is named after an old Geordie term for an outhouse.
Hotel manager Ana Pinheiro said: "I would say it's one of the strangest places in Oxford to stay.
"We know we are not for everyone, but it is a very nice experience if you're willing."
