#OnThisDay in 1891, Manager Alf Jacobs opened the #Cork #TurkishBaths Company's establishment in South Mall https://t.co/ZqLrcHmVWV. There was also a mikveh with separate entrance for the Jewish community. Baths closed pre-1956, & building now houses @JacobsOnTheMall Restaurant.
#OnThisDay in 1868 the Brighton #TurkishBaths opened in West St—designed by Freemason architect Horatio Nelson Goulty for the Brighton Turkish Bath Co Ltd whose secretary & all its original directors were also Masons. https://t.co/S0aaHjg6kG. In 1909 it became the Academy cinema.
Does anyone recognise this strange image of a Turkish bath which appears to be in Jefferson Way or perhaps Terson Way somewhere? Or is it possibly an image from a video game? Please RT. Any help much appreciated.
@Hist_Geographer @Porchester1929 Yes, the one by Montagu Williams, later a magistrate, and F C Burnand, later to write Cox aand Box with Arthur Sullivan and become editor of Punch. First produced in 1861, barely 10 months after 1st London Victorian Turkish bath opened—but not at the Wimbledon Theatre!
@DurrellSociety @WhistlerSociety @CCavafy .An interesting article at https://t.co/VUTvQpFiCk about visits made to the Jermyn Street Hammam by James McNeill Whistler and his publisher William Heinemann. The first of these visits preceded that in Trollope's "The Turkish bath".
