#onthisday, 1 October 1860, Dr Barter opened #TurkishBaths for the Working Classes at 43 Little Donegal St, #Belfast. They were actually 2nd Class baths attached to the 1st Class baths opening on 1 November, but entered from 112 Donegal St. www.victorianturkishbath.org/_6DIRECTORY/... +ALT 🗃️ #C19th

Advertisement for the baths shortly after they opened, detailing opening hours and charges. While the baths were never advertised as Turkish Baths for the Working Classes, this is how they were popularly known, possibly because they opened before the first class baths. Newspapers initially referred to them as such, and when Barter opened similar baths in Maylor Street, Cork, they were officially called Turkish Baths for the Destitute Poor and, more popularly as The People's Turkish Baths. (M'Comb's Guide to Belfast: the Giant's Causeway and adjoining districts of Antrim and Down…, 1861)

In 1892 the baths were bought by John North (who had previously purchased Barter's Upper Sackville Street baths in Dublin). He rebuilt them (image above) and renamed them the Belfast Hammam. Under further owners, they remained open till 1936 and were demolished ten years later. (Image courtesy the Belfast Telegraph)

Fresh discoveries have recently surfaced in Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe, signifying significant archaeological breakthroughs. Göbekli Tepe, which dates back approximately 12,000 years, holds the distinction of being the most ancient megalithic site worldwide. Source | arkeonews.net/new-discover...

Göbeklitepe, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, has revolutionized the perspectives of historians and archaeologists regarding the origins of civilization. Remarkably, it possesses a companion site known as Karahantepe.
The site continues to tantalize researchers with its untapped potential, promising further revelations.
In an official written statement, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Türkiye has disclosed the following information:
A remarkable statue, standing at a height of 2.3 meters, has been unearthed in Karahantepe, showcasing an incredibly lifelike facial expression. This statue stands out due to its striking resemblance to a relief discovered during the Sayburç excavations in 2021. Notably, one of the panels in Sayburç depicts a figure holding their phallus in their right hand. However, the newly discovered statue depicts a figure holding its phallus with both hands.
The seated statue, positioned within a fixed niche on the ground, portrays a deceased human with distinct emphasis on the rib, spinal, and shoulder bones, creating a vivid representation.
Within the same vicinity where the sculpture was found, a vulture sculpture adorning the wall and stone plates scattered on the ground were also uncovered. Recent studies conducted in the Şanlıurfa province of Turkey have provided valuable insights into settlements that indicate the existence of a distinct phase within the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period.

#onthisday, 30 September 1800, was born architect Decimus Burton (son of James Burtonm, designer & founder of St Leonards-on-Sea). Decimus owned 5 shares in the company which built its #TurkishBaths (victorianturkishbath.org/_6DIRECTORY/...). The baths failed but (now) Listed bldg remains. 🗃️ #C19th

The Turkish baths building on a card posted in 1907. The photograph would have been taken some years previously, probably soon after Uplands School completed the building of their swimming pool in 1871. (Photo: Castro collection)

Photo I took of all that remains of the Turkish baths building in 2006, shortly after it failed to find a buyer at auction. It was later sold more than once.
