EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late Victorian era, specifically to the Public Baths in Westbury, Wiltshire. The image showcases an interior view of the men's swimming pool on a summer day, precisely captured on June 24th, 1892. Preserved within the esteemed Bedford Lemere collection at Historic England Archive, this photograph offers a remarkable glimpse into the past. The scene is filled with an air of nostalgia as we observe gentlemen leisurely enjoying their aquatic activities amidst grand architecture. The high ceilings adorned with intricate detailing and large windows allow natural light to cascade onto the sparkling water below. Men of various ages can be seen swimming or simply relaxing by the poolside, perhaps engaging in conversations about local affairs or sharing stories from afar. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also sheds light on how public baths served as vital social spaces during that period. It symbolizes a sense of community where individuals could come together for both physical exercise and social interaction. Through this evocative print from Historic England Archive, we are transported back over a century ago to witness firsthand one aspect of daily life during Victorian times – where even mundane activities like swimming held great significance within society's fabric.
