Restored
in 2001/2, the building offers a community bath hall and a genuine
Victorian bathouse.
The
building dates back to 1842, when it was built for Earl Manvers,
Lord of the Manor of Beighton.
It
was first built as a hotel with spa baths beneath and has also been
used for private dwellings.
It
became a Grade II listed building in the 1960s.
The
community hall seats up to 60 people and can be booked for private
functions.
Guided
tours of the bathouse are available to the public, and to schools
and other interest groups.
David W. Robinson from Sommerset writes:
I was part of the community living at Birley Spa prior to the building
of the Housing Estate.
My great grandfather was Charles Smith who owned the Spa prior to
Sanderson And Newbould and the Council.
A writer and artist now aged 60, I have many lucid memories!
My family would be so pleased to see the old place being used again,
for the purpose for which it was intended!
