Handbill, 160 x 130 mm. laid down on thin card. Said to be the oldest Turkish bath in England, it opened in 1679, the facilities offering patrons a range of treatments including, according to one 17th century commentator, “sweating, rubbing, shaving, cupping and bathing” (cupping being a reference to using heated glasses to create blood-blisters and so extract blood).
