for Ladies, and 41 collapsible cubicles for Gentlemen. A singular feature in
con nection with the 41 cubicles, framed in teak, is that they are collapsible,
so that on special occasions (Galas, etc.), they
will fold flat against the walls and form a wainscot lining to the Hall, and thus admit of a perfect view of what is
going on in the Bath, a movable canvas screen
protecting the spectator from plunge spray. Footbaths, Showers, and every conceivable amenity for the equipment of an
ultra-modern Swimming Bath are provided,
including a large Clubroom for gala artistes and others.
Slipper Baths.
There are 12 of these Baths, seven for Gentlemen and five for Ladies.
Three of the former and two of the latter are provided with hot and cold sea
water, and hot and cold fresh water and overhead shower, making it possible to get a
sea water bath at a very moderate
cost.
The bathing section of the Institution is equipped on hygienic lines of
the most up-to-date character, with fittings throughout of the finest quality
approved by the Medical faculty, no justifiable expense having been spared by the
Corporation to offer the most efficient hydropathic treatment to a wide and critical
clientele.
Concert Hall and Ballroom.
The Concert Hall and Ballroom, 70 ft. x 31 ft., with seating for 255
persons, is provided with a spring dancing floor. The stage accommodation comprises
ample dressing-rooms and offices, with separate artistes' and property ingress and
egress. The Hall underneath is of similar dimensions, is independently approached
and, in addition to the usual offices, there is a comprehensive kitchen
installation available for all
purposes.
A self-contained Superintendent's flat, electrically equipped, with
telephone communication (No. 658 Lytham) from the office switchboard to this official
and all departments, completes the administrative facilities.
Accommodation is provided in the basement for scholars' cycles and the
peram bulators of mothers attending the Clinic and Child Welfare
Centre.
