Victorian Turkish baths, Harrogate

The Victorian Turkish baths in Parliament Street, Harrogate, England, opened in 1897 as part of the Royal Baths, and with their entrance originally in Crescent Road. The baths replaced those which had been added to the “Montpelier Gardens Baths” some time in the late 1870s. The new Turkish baths are still open, but the remaining parts of the Royal Baths are now used for other purposes. After major refurbishment at the beginning of the twenty-first-century, these baths are generally considered to be the most historically complete fully operational Victorian Turkish baths still in use.
