The Sulphur Bath

The Sulphur Bath is a bath house built between 1759 and 1762, possibly designed by Robert Adam. It is constructed of red brick with a cement render and features a Welsh slate roof. The building is single storey with a symmetrical three-bay south elevation. The central section is open and supported by paired columns that have capitals decorated with foliage and egg and dart motifs. The entablature is missing, and there are iron railings between the columns. On either side of the central section are pedimented pavilions, each featuring a single blind round arch and an entablature above. The end walls also have similar blind arches, with Diocletian windows located in the upper part. The north elevation includes a half domed apse at the center and round arches with Diocletian windows in the pavilions. Inside, there is an apse at the rear with four steps leading down to the spring. The side walls have blind round arches with raised and fielded panelled doors that open into the plunge baths, which have steps down on two sides. The building is currently semi-derelict.
