EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the new palatial, marble Swimming and Turkish baths built by the Bermondsey Corporation in Grange Road, South East London. Erected at a staggering cost of £150,000 on 20th September 1927, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the opulence and sophistication of its time. The image showcases an array of exquisite features that make this establishment truly remarkable. From the communal baths adorned with ornate stained glass windows to the meticulously tiled pool glistening under glass ceiling lights, every detail exudes elegance. The workers can be seen putting finishing touches to ensure perfection while a metal hanging bracket for flower baskets adds a touch of natural beauty. Wooden benches line one side of the empty pool, inviting visitors to relax after indulging in invigorating swims or rejuvenating Turkish baths. The craftsmanship is evident in every corner - from intricate tile work to carefully designed alfieri embellishments. While this photo does not mention commercial use explicitly, it transports viewers back in time when such establishments were symbols of luxury and leisure rather than mere business ventures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, moments dedicated to self-care and sport were cherished. Between The Wars' lens has captured both artistry and functionality within this single frame – an enduring snapshot frozen in time that encapsulates an era defined by architectural splendor and appreciation for well-being.
