1855. By Thomas Worthington. Brick with stone dressings and
Welsh slate roof.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with central 5-bay attic storey. 13-window
range symmetrically designed. Entrances in 4th bay each side,
one now blocked, the other retaining paired panelled doors.
Ground floor forms continuous range of stone dressed arcading,
with stepped voussoirs over round-arched recesses housing
entrances and windows, each with console as keystone carrying
cornice above. Stressed angle quoins. Upper storey articulated
by brick pilasters with plain stone capitals, the windows set
in stone architraves in shallow recesses. Coats of arms in
blind panels each side. Central attic storey has arcaded range
of 5 round-arched windows divided by brick and stone
pilasters, with paired brackets carrying sharply overhanging
eaves. End wall stacks on this projecting storey and on outer
gable ends.To rear are the former baths with twin-span
part-glazed roofs.
INTERIOR: bath areas remaining with the roofs supported by
rare early laminated timber trusses. Semicircular arch-braces
springing from cantilevered iron consoles support the
principal rafters. The spandrels are infilled with wooden
cross-bracing.
These baths are an important survival of early purpose built
public baths.
