BEFORE YOU LEAVE CHESTER
CALL AT No. 117, BRIDGE STREET,
AND SEE THAT ANCIENT RELIC OF THE ROMANS,
THE BATH AND HYPOCAUST,
PRONOUNCED BY ALL ANTIQUARIANS TO BE THE
GREATEST CURIOSITY IN CHESTER.
“Near to the Feathers Hotel, in Bridge Street, are premises now
occupied as a CHINA SHOP, in which are the remains of the Roman
Hypocaust and Sweating Bath, the use of which appears to have been
very general among the Romans, and regarded by them as one of their
chief luxuries. From the details which have been handed down to us
by ancient historians, respecting these curious erections, we learn
that they were not only constructed so as to secure the comfort and
convenience of the bathers to the fullest extent, but were often
built in the most magnificent style of architecture. The one in
Bridge Street, which circumstances have happily spared, is in a
tolerably perfect state.”
