The former pump room and baths in Worcester Road were designed by Samuel and John Deykes in 1819 and opened in 1823. I think the original building is the right half with an extension added to the north as there are four "wreaths" above the middle and right arches, but only three above the left end. Further to the left (with sadly boarded up lower windows) is the Foley Arms Hotel, also built by Samuel Deykes in 1810. The building off the far right of the picture is John Deykes Classical Library.
