3. Slipper Baths
The slipper baths on South PLace were buolt in 1904 as a place where people could have abth when few houses had their own bathrooms. The 'slipper' baths were so called because of the Victorian sense of modesty in draping bath-towels over the bath to conceal their bodies and by doing so making the bath look like a huge slipper.
