Description:Members of Stafford Ladies' Swimming Club photographed in the empty swimming pool at the Royal Brine Baths, Stafford. In the 1880s a thick bed of salt was discovered on Stafford Common, during the search for a water supply for the town. This led to the opening of the Brine Baths in Greengate Street in 1892, designed by George Wormald. Its royal title was granted after a visit by the Duchess of Teck in 1895. A swimming pool, Turkish baths and a several therapeutic pools were provided. The baths were demolished in 1977 when the building was found to be unsafe. Civic offices now stand on this site.
