EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a series of lavatory doors from the Liverpool Abattoir, located on Stanley Street, in the thirties. The doors, constructed from standard Plymax type M flush doors, were a popular choice for their strength, rigidity, and light weight during the 1930s. Plymax, a trademarked brand of Venesta Limited, was known for its high-quality plywood boards, which were widely used in various industries due to their durability and versatility. The image showcases the modern design of the lavatories, with each cubicle featuring a single door with a recessed panel and a simple, clean design. The doors measure approximately 24 inches in height and 30 inches in width, making them a standard size for public facilities during that era. The use of plywood for these doors was a significant departure from traditional materials, such as solid wood or metal, and marked a shift towards more efficient and cost-effective construction methods. The photograph offers a glimpse into the architectural details of the Liverpool Abattoir, which was likely designed to accommodate the large number of workers and visitors to the facility. The use of Plymax doors in the lavatories not only contributed to the modern and hygienic design of the space but also showcased the innovative use of materials in the construction industry during the 1930s.
