White Rock Baths, Hastings:

memorial from the East Sussex Medico-Chirurgical Society

This memorial, addressed to the Chairman

& Directors of the Hastings Baths Company [sic]

by the East Sussex Medico-Chirurgical

Society,

Sheweth, That whereas an extensive bathing

establishment is in course of erection, in

which no arrangements have been ^ ^hitherto made

for the construction of any Turkish or vapour

Baths, and whereas the absence of any

such Baths has in many individual

instances obliged invalids to leave the

Town in quest of such Baths, or has pre-

vented their coming to Hastings,

and whereas their consideration of this

question came under the especial

consideration of a Meeting of the above

Society held on 4^th May 1880

This Society hereby calls the attention

of the Chairman & Directors of their Baths

Company to the same, and urges

upon them the desirability of rendering

the Bathing Establishment complete

by the erection of Turkish & Vapour

Baths, believing that such steps will

be for the advantage of the Town & of

Visitors frequenting it.

 

Signed in behalf of the                  ü
above Society in accordance   ý
with a resolution passed              ï	Chairman
at their meeting 4th May 1880þ

Memorial in support of the installation of Turkish baths at White Rock by the East Sussex Medico-Chirurgical Society to the Hastings & St Leonards Public Baths & Aquarium Co Ltd on 4 May 1880. Since the memorial is not on the society's headed paper, it seems likely that this is a copy, signed, for the minutes book.
