Maryport Public Toilets

No-one can miss these public toilets now they’ve been decked out in eyecatching new artwork. Maryport artist Alan Roper created the Roman history-inspired display on the Irish Street building.

The artwork, funded by a Heritage Action Zone (HAZ) grant, was the first project to be publicly unveiled under the Made in Maryport banner. It’s the brainchild of the Maryport Arts and Heritage Partnership – a group made up of Allerdale Borough Council, Senhouse Roman Museum, Maryport Maritime Museum, The Settlement, the Cultura Trust which owns the Camp Farm Roman site, Cumbria County Council, Yan Tan Tethera Creative company and The Maryporters community group.
