EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from The Illustrated London News, dated May 19, 1846, offers an intriguing glimpse into the St. Pancras Baths and Washhouses, a groundbreaking establishment that revolutionized personal hygiene and cleanliness in Victorian London. The illustrations on this page showcase both the inferior and superior bathing facilities, highlighting the stark contrast between the two classes. The inferior baths, designed for the working class, are cramped and dimly lit, with multiple individuals sharing the same bathwater. In contrast, the superior baths, intended for the affluent, are spacious and well-lit, with private cubicles and individual bathing tubs. The washing, drying, and ironing rooms are also depicted, revealing the intricacies of the laundry process during this era. The washing rooms were filled with large tubs, where clothes were soaked and scrubbed with soap and hot water. The drying rooms featured large, open spaces with clothes hung on lines, while the ironing rooms housed the latest innovations, including wringing machines and ironing machines, which made the laborious task of ironing much more efficient. The St. Pancras Baths and Washhouses were a testament to the growing importance of sanitation and cleanliness in Victorian society. The establishment provided a much-needed solution for Londoners who previously had limited access to bathing and laundry facilities, making it an essential part of daily life for many.
