The company was set up at the end of the second world war to
purchase Savoy Turkish Baths Limited which was, by now, operating
only two Turkish baths—the one at 92 Jermyn Street and the one for
women, round the corner in Duke of York Street.
It was
clear by this time that there was only a limited clientele for
Turkish baths in London, and it is probable that the major reason
for the purchase was potential profit from a later disposal of the
leases on the baths and the apartments over No.92. Certainly during
the last years of the company's existence, the Jermyn Street baths
were being kept open mainly for tax reasons.
During its life of
almost thirty years, the company was several times in the Courts. It
successfully defended more than one case brought against it for
keeping an immoral house. And the result of a squabble between the
directors resulted in the setting of a legal precedent.
These cases will be
treated elsewhere on the site in due course.
