I'm a big fan of Turkish bath houses so it was wonderful to see pictures of this one (definitely going to schedule a visit to it now!) I used to quite often go to an amazing club in London called The Bathhouse, housed in an amazing Victorian bathhouse just behind Liverpool Street Station. It always felt such a decedent environment for a g&t !

Jon, too. Peaky Blinders is just becoming available for us here, and not yet for us. But soon, and I'm looking forward to seeing it!<br />So happy you got to spend time at the baths, and happier still you shared the photos. I don't think you understand how much I enjoy your photo tours, sometimes. They're a treat with extra meaning for Dan and I.

Most homes have tiled doorways, so a roam around the streets surrounding Roath Park is a delight, and then there are the municipal buildings, and buildings that were for commerce, such as the Pierhead Building down Cardiff Bay (think I blogged about that ages ago). I would LOVE to visit these Baths, I could happily spend a few hours photographing tiles!!

They don't build them like this any more, do they? I wonder why they would bother with curtains in the change room at all?
