The Clifton Pool And The Victoria Public House

The Clifton Pool and The Victoria Public House are an early 1850s swimming bath complex with a later incorporated public house, altered in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The buildings are stuccoed with a slate mansard roof hidden behind a parapet.

The design incorporates a front range, likely originally containing medicinal and washing baths, offices, a manager's house, and a boiler room. Behind this sits the rectangular open-air swimming pool, with 19th-century galleries on two sides and changing cubicles on the third. The Victoria Public House was added to the northeast end of the front range by 1867.

The front range is two storeys and an attic, five bays wide, with pilasters supporting an entablature that is raised in the centre to form an attic. Moulded window architraves are present, with ground floor cornices and panelled pilasters and console brackets on the first floor. A central doorway features an Egyptian-style architrave with a pronounced batter and coved cornice. Small, square windows are set within the attic. Sash windows, some replaced with casements, are present, with the ground floor to the right of centre replaced by an entrance to The Victoria Public House. The northeast return elevation has a broken cornice and a lion above a raised parapet. A long blind wall is located to the right, featuring two doorways with moulded stone architraves, keystones, console brackets supporting cornices, and acroteria. The left doorway has been blocked, and the right doorway is missing its acroterion.

The swimming pool is surrounded by galleries supported on chamfered wooden posts with cast-iron balustrades and glazed canopies with king-post trusses. The galleries are partly glazed with margin panes and panelled risers. Along the southwest side, a row of wooden cubicles features panelled fronts and boarded partitions, all sheltered by a canopy.

The only inspected interior was that of The Victoria Public House, which has replacement bar fittings but retains a late 19th-century fireplace in the saloon. Inside the main entrance to the baths is a kiosk and a wooden open-well staircase.
