Baths in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear

Bathing is an ancient tradition practiced by the Babylonians, Egyptians and Romans. However during the Middle Ages and into the 1700s bathing lost its appeal as it was deemed a sin by the church and many people believed it caused the spread of diseases such as the plague and syphilis. However by the mid 18th Century attitudes had change and cleaning oneself was once again encouraged. Back then taking a dip in the tub was not as glamorous or invigorating as it is today, as people were forced to sit in a large wooden or metal bucket by the fireplace.
