Mounts Baths

Northampton's art deco baths on Upper Mounts opened in 1936 and carry three Victorian-style hot rooms, which is what keeps a 1930s building on a list of Victorian Turkish baths: the bathing process, not the architecture, defines the type. The building is Grade II listed. The Northampton Sun Group, a local naturist organisation, runs skinny-dipping nights here on Sunday evenings.
