_Queen's Bagnio_ (No. 13. p. 196.).--The Queen's Bagnio in Long Acre was
on the south side, nearly opposite to the door of Long Acre Chapel. The
Duke's bath I have always heard was in Old Belton Street, now Endell
Street; the fourth house from Castle Street on the west side. It has
been new fronted not long since; but at the time that I frequented the
baths there--the exterior had pilasters, and a handsome cornice in the
style of Inigo Jones,--all being built in dark red brick. Within there
was a large plunging bath, paved and lined with marble, the walls being
covered by small tiles of blue and white, in the Dutch fashion. The
supply of water was from a well on the premises.
There were several apartments for warm-bathing, having the baths and
pavements of marble, and to several of these were attached
dressing-rooms.
The house is now, I believe, occupied by a carpenter; but the baths
remained, though in a dilapidated condition, a short-time since, and
probably are there still.
