I would like some opinions on where to place the ceiling string pull shower
switch.

Standing in the bathroom looking at the wall, the bathroom door is in the
centre of the wall with sink to the right and bath to the left.

The shower will go on the wall so as we can use the wall end of the bath as
a shower part with shower curtain to the right i.e. behind the door as it
opens (the door is hinged on the left).

I intend putting the string pull light switch to the right of the door a few
inches into bathroom. This will be so that when someone opens the bathroom
door they can switch on the light before going any further.

Should the shower switch go alongside the light switch i.e. about 27 inches
away from the bath or to the left behind the door (as it opens) on the dry
side of the shower curtain?
