The Natural Baths.

Situated on the west side of The Crescent, built 1851-53 by Henry Currey on the site of Roman Baths.

Following the decline of spa treatments were used as

the town's swimming baths until the building of the new pool in 1960.

The Tourist Information Centre is in the Patients Lounge. Water is piped from the 'gentleman's bath' to the bottling plant.

Other baths remain derelict, the best of which is the Ladies Bath.
