VICTORIAN TURKISH BATHS: Ireland: Cork: South Mall: the cooling room in 2006 |

South Mall Turkish Baths in Cork:
the cooling-room—now part of

Jacobs on the Mall Restaurant—seen in 2006

It is difficult to know how much of the original roof remains but the structure (with supporting pillars) is probably original, or a repaired version of the original. Certainly the roof glass is no longer tinted.

But even seeing the partial image above it is possible to visualize how spacious the room was, especially if viewed in conjunction with the one below. In this image the diners are seated in the gallery set aside for smokers at the northern end of the cooling-room. Underneath the diners would have been some of the changing cubicles, and at ground level in the centre of the floor was the plunge pool.
