Guildford Crescent Baths, Cardiff,
next to the Bute Docks Feeder Canal
The Cardif Baths in Guildford Crescent, were built in 1862 by the Cardif Baths Co Ltd and designed by the Cardif Borough Architect, Thomas Waring (1825–91), who was also the Company Secretary. In addition to the Turkish baths there were slipper baths, a gymnasium, and 'two large swimming baths, each holding upwards of a million gallons of water supplied by the Bute Docks feeder'. 1
