Anne Middlehurst (1789-1875) was a widow who ran Bath Cottage (a lodging house) & the Baths with her daughters Annie, Alice & Margaret. The baths closed in 1853 as the Clifton Estate wanted the site to build the Neptune Hotel (now The Queens Hotel).

Reproduced below is an advert for the sale of contents of Bath Cottage in 1854. After the baths closed Anne, Alice and Margaret moved to Clifton Street where they ran a lodging house.

Things did not go well; by the 1870s, Anne and daughter Margaret were living at the Fylde Workhouse at Wesham.
