EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1890 showcases the intricate "Plan of the Turkish, Swimming and other baths" located in Convent Walk, Sheffield. The detailed surveyor's work by The Sheffield Bath Co Ltd is evident in this scale model, where every inch represents ten feet of the actual space. Preserved at Sheffield Local Studies Library, this historical artifact (catalogued as (20) 57 L) offers a glimpse into the city's rich past. The image captures an architectural marvel that was once a hub for leisure and relaxation. This grand establishment provided locals with an oasis amidst their bustling lives. As we delve into this visual treasure trove, we are transported back to a time when these baths were considered state-of-the-art facilities. The photograph portrays not only the Turkish bath but also swimming areas and various other amenities available within its walls. It serves as a testament to the meticulous planning and design that went into creating such opulent spaces for public use. While it is impossible to ignore the commercial aspect associated with this piece of history – after all, it was created by The Sheffield Bath Co Ltd – let us focus on appreciating its artistic value and historical significance instead. Through this image, we can explore how our ancestors sought solace in communal bathing rituals while admiring the craftsmanship behind one of Sheffield's most iconic landmarks.
