What is recorded here

Detached two-bay two-storey former bath house, built 1861. The bath house was constructed by John Kelly and provided hot, cold and open sea baths. The bath house closed in 1954. To the north side is an enclosed rear yard. The building now is boarded up and appears to be unused. The building is finished in render with stone quoins. The front façade is pedimented, with plain pilasters framing the ground floor and block and start quoins flanking the first floor; between ground and first floor is a moulded projecting string course. Window openings are flat-headed and are all boarded over. The pitched roof is finished with artificial slate and uPVC rainwater goods.

Despite changes of material and loss of detail, this modest bath house is nevertheless an extremely rare example of a building type once common in coastal resorts in the mid and later nineteenth century. It contributes to the setting of Martello Terrace and Strand Road.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
