The Victorian Turkish bath
A Victorian Turkish bath is a type of bath in which the bather sweats freely in a room which is heated by a continuous flow of hot dry air (or in two or three such rooms at progressively higher temperatures)
sometimes followed by a cold plunge
and usually a shampoo (ie, a full body wash and massage)
with a final period of relaxation in a cooling-room
though not all facilities are as beautiful as these, photographed over a period of years, at the Turkish and Sauna Suite, Harrogate.
