Located on the corner of Islingwood Road are the former Cobden Road Slipper Baths that opened in 1894 and closed in 1976. Slipper baths were erected, often in poor areas, to allow locals the luxury of a hot bath, a facility their houses often lacked. These became an anachronism from the 1950s onwards as new houses were suitably plumbed and older housing converted. After closure the building became a community until 1982 and were converted into flats in 1985-86.
