Bingo! Makes complete sense. The clothes also fit around 1936 when I think they opened.
(Must have been a hell of a lot of people needing a good wash )
But they are queuing the wrong way, the baths were back round the corner to the left!
Yes, but is the front door of the baths not at the end of the building which is below the bottom of the photo so the queue will go off the bottom and snake round to the left at that point? In fat is that not the edge of the baths that we can see on the right had edge of the photo?
The rear of the baths is out of view at the top left of the photo the rear of the queue is coming round from Chapel St and the front is heading towards the town, it must turn back down Friars St (some bloody queue) is IHE on the wind up none of them have towels rolled up under their arms
