Carlisle Turkish baths, Victorian public bathhouse in Carlisle, England.
The red-brick building features Moorish-style arches, green and yellow tiled changing rooms, and a stained-glass ceiling illuminated by a lantern.
The bathhouse opened in 1909 at a cost of £2,500, constructed by local builder William Johnstone as an extension to the 1884 swimming pool.
Until 2022, this facility remained one of twelve functioning Turkish baths in the United Kingdom, offering traditional bathing rituals and health treatments.
Located on James Street in Carlisle, the building combined saunas, plunge pools, and showers with original tiling and faience work throughout its spaces.
The cooling room contains a concrete plunge bath surrounded by decorative tiles in pale green, pale blue, and buff glazes reflecting oriental designs.
