1. Title: "A Moment of Privacy: Dressing Cubicles at Public Baths, Sittingbourne, Kent (1936)" 2.. Step back in time to the 1930s and experience the charm of a bygone era with this photograph of dressing cubicles at public baths in Sittingbourne, Kent. Dated 1936, these cubicles, constructed from double-sided galvanised steel Plymax, stand as a testament to the innovative materials and design of the period. Plymax, a trademarked product of Venesta Limited, was a popular choice for its strength, rigidity, and light weight. The combination of plywood boards and metal sheets, galvanised for added durability, created a versatile and practical solution for various industries, including public baths. The architect's modern approach to designing these cubicles ensured privacy and functionality, with each one measuring approximately 1.8 meters in length and 0.9 meters in width. The double-sided design allowed for efficient use of space, making these cubicles an ideal choice for public facilities. The use of Plymax in the construction of these dressing cubicles was a significant departure from traditional materials like wood or brick. Its lightweight yet robust nature made it an attractive alternative, offering both durability and ease of installation. This photograph, taken in the heart of the 1930s, showcases the innovative spirit of the era and the ingenuity of the materials used in construction. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of a time when modern materials and design were revolutionizing everyday life.
