Victorian Turkish Baths @victurk.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

#onthisday, 13 July 1870, Dr Richard Barter opened the last of several #TurkishBaths provided for patients at his St Ann's Hydropathic Establishment near #Blarney, Co #Cork. He was to die 3 months later. Opened by his eldest daughter, & designed by his architect namesake Mr Richard Barter. 🗃️ #C19th

A view of the baths on a terrace below the level of the main hydro building, from a contemporary stereocard. The baths were of a strange combination of styles, with two wings of tall, slightly arched windows standing on either side of a pedimented portico, behind which was a tall windowed tower supporting a cupola.

The Turkish baths cooling-room elaborately decorated showing two sculptured figures on supporting columns, behind which is a large circular ottoman. To the right are dressing cubicles and a partitioned area, whose purpose is so far unknown. (The Lawrence Photograph Collection L_NS_01091. Image courtesy of the National Library of Ireland)

A bewhiskered Dr Richard Barter standing in front of an open door leading into the baths. (Harvard College Library Widener Med 1878.69)

Head and shoulders photo of the doctor's namesake, Mr Richard Barter, sculptor and architect. He designed 14 Turkish baths in Ireland and another in London for the doctor. (Photographer unknown)

How did early medieval Ireland connect with the continent? From sacred texts to sea routes, explore the cultural currents that linked Irish monks to Europe. Read about the major new exhibition at the National Museum of Ireland @currentarchaeology.bsky.social‬ the-past.com/feature/word...

This list of ‘books in Irish script’ (Libri scottice scripti) was compiled in the mid-9th century as part of a catalogue of the library of Sankt Gallen Abbey, testifying to the large number of Irish manuscripts that were already in its collections at this time.

Brilliant read about now: makes me [re]consider research & writing about people from the past. Their life can be played out in newspapers, letters, diaries, but this is an incomplete story, & my selecting bits to share is disingenuous, maybe even harmful #OnePlaceStudy vegoutmag.com/lifestyle/j-...
