The Wee Retreat


Builder, Nick Willan, spent a £190,000 converting a Victorian seaside toilet block at Sheringham, Norfolk into a seaside home as an anniversary present to his wife, Susan.

This couple bought their public toilet at North Bay in Scarborough.  The building had also been used as an ammunition store during the War, was closed down in the 1990s and was also used as a seasonal cafe.
