Years ago the Baths (I remember the Wells way Baths) were bath tubs with partitions and doors, the partitions and doors did not go up to the ceiling or down to the floor, and the baths didn't have taps, you had to shout 'more hot water in number 4' and if you were lucky the attendent would turn the tap on for a second!!

There were also rooms were you could do your washing, as many of the tenements around Southwark had no water/sinks/toilets etc.

When attending school swimming sessions at ED baths, (late 60's early 70's) as you walked down the long corridor to the back pool, the doors on the right of this corridor were sometimes open revealing cubicles each containing a bath.

Seemed odd at the time.

Even then they looked all dusty & stained ... but this was i guess, part of the building's initial purpose.


I have seen (somewhere ... Internet?) a price list for the bathing services available.

Along the lines of:

Bath, 1 towel, 1 soap 2d.

Bath, 2 towel, 2 soap 3d.


or similar ...... with separate days for Ladies & gentlemen.

    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • Sorry duplicate post
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
