![Ipswich Historic Lettering: Stamford 1](stamford1.jpg)
This listed 1823 public bath house
is two storeys in height and is built of course rubble with a slate
roof. Although it is now a residence/office, the interior still retains
baths
and date. The bathing room has a high barrel-vaulted plaster
ceiling and probably
had a plunge pool, now filled in. To the north is a possible changing
room, and to the east is accommodation for the baths attendant. The
first floor rooms also have barrel-vaulted plaster ceilings. There is a
date stone of 1823 in the south interior wall. The building was
extended to the rear in the late 19th century.
