Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The eighth book in the "Played In Britain" series, tracing the development of indoor public baths and pools from the early Georgian period and the first municipal baths from 1829 through the art-deco period to the hi-tech, but not necessarily perfect, facilities of recent times.

Publisher's description:

In both the public and private sectors the golden era of pool design fell between the 1880s and 1914, when over 600 baths were constructed, many rich in architectural detail and technological innovation. This book traces the development of indoor public baths and pools in Britain.
