Moffat Bath Halls
The elegant Georgian fronted building, now the Town Hall was built in 1827 by the Moffat Bath Company as Moffat Bath Halls. When originally completed the Baths Halls comprised reading rooms, an assembly hall and bathing suites.
The great, good and infirm of the day bathed in water piped down from the Mineral Well. Taking a hot mineral bath was two shillings and cold one shilling - considerable sums in those days.
"The hot mineral bath is most used. It may be taken at any hour of the day: the usual time of immersion is twenty minutes and the degree of heat 96 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold baths, common water on mineral may also be had as well as shower baths and vapour baths."
