Glossop Road Baths, Victorian public bath in Sheffield, England

The Glossop Road Baths building features tessellated pavements, glazed brick walls, and ornate ceilings reflecting Turkish architectural influences throughout its interior spaces.

The facility opened in 1836 following a cholera epidemic, and underwent major reconstruction from 1877 to 1879 under architect E. M. Gibbs with enhanced facilities.

The baths marked social progress in 1913 when women gained specific access to the Turkish bathing facilities, representing a quarter of total visitors that year.

The former swimming pool section now operates as The Swim Inn pub, while the Turkish bath area functions as Spa 1877 after reopening in November 2023.

The building's triangular site created distinctive geometric spaces, including an octagonal dressing room, pentagonal hot room, and triangular auxiliary chambers.
