LAMBETH BATHS AND WASHHOUSES, KENNINGTON ROAD, LAMBETH

View looking south of the exterior of Lambeth Baths and Washhouses, built to the designs of A. Hessell Tittman on the corner of Lambeth Road and Kennington Road. The baths were opened in 1897 as a public swimming pool, bath, laundry and wash-house for those without such facilities. They were badly damaged by a V2 rocket on 4th January 1945 and were demolished, being replaced by a new laundry and bathhouse in Lambeth Walk. Lambeth Methodist church is behind on the right and was also damaged in the bombing.Photograph by Bedford Lemere & Co, dated 1898.
