An interesting description of the Royal Clarence Baths (Mountwise, Plymouth) from the 1830’s.
At a short distance from the town, and close to Mountwise, are the Royal Clarence Baths, which are allowed to be equal to any sea-baths in the kingdom. This establishment is the property of Mr. R. O. Backwell, ironmonger of Devonport, and contains hot, cold, shower, vapour, and swimming baths, with improved bathing machines, on a beautiful beach immediately in front of the delightful peninsula of Mount Edgcumbe. Adjoining are six lodging houses, which afford admirable retreats for invalids. The hot baths are always kept ready without notice, and there is a good carriage going to them.
