History

Mid C19 end-terrace house, apparently added to No 5 and the last-built of the row. Now flats. Called Southgate House and the site of Marine Baths built in 1887 in the garden and replaced by the public toilets in the C20. The 'marine and freshwater baths' were initially to have been part of a winter garden on the North Beach for which Whitmore & Reeves of London won a competition, but £10,000 needed was not raised and Mr Reeves made plans for this new site. As built there were ladies' and invalids' baths with access from the front and gentlemen's bath accessed from the road to the beach. There was a ladies' waiting room, an invalids' room with steps down to a bath 0.9m wide and 1.2m deep, and a 15m corridor with 8 bathrooms, each fitted with hot and cold sea- and fresh-water taps. In the basement were the steam boiler, gentlemen's waiting-room and smoking-room, and a drying room for towels. Sea-water was pumped up from the beach into a 5900 litre tank. The building was of stone, built by B. Beynon, with plumbing by W J Husband. The baths were damaged by fire in 1900.
