EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past and experience a moment of tranquility at The Public Baths in Sutton, Surrey, near Croydon, England, as captured in this stunning photograph from 1913. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the community during the early 20th century. The Public Baths were a vital part of the local infrastructure, providing essential facilities for hygiene and relaxation for residents who may not have had access to private bathing facilities at home. The baths were a hub of social activity, with families and friends gathering to enjoy the communal spaces, swim laps in the pool, or simply relax in the soothing warmth of the Turkish bath. The photograph reveals a bustling scene, with women and children in swimsuits lining up to enter the baths, while others can be seen enjoying the sunshine on the terrace. The building's grand architecture, with its ornate columns and intricate tilework, speaks to the importance placed on public health and community well-being during this era. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the simple pleasures of a day at the baths, and the sense of connection and community that came with it. The Public Baths in Sutton stand as a testament to the enduring power of public spaces to bring people together and create lasting memories.
