VicTurk#OnThisDay—26 January 1863—John Treble opened a #TurkishBath at 4 Mansion Terrace, St David's Hill, #Exeter, opposite the 'Blind Asylum'. Though 'replete with every essential', it was actually 6 months before showers were fitted.
Joseph Ball became the owner in 1872, and the baths closed briefly in 1880 shortly after his death. His wife Anne then continued them until her death in 1891. The Turkish baths had 2 hot rooms, a cooling-room, a shampooing room, dressing room, and showers.
