Brill's Baths, Brighton (demolished 1929). Sir George Gilbert Scott’s (1811-78) only opportunity to build an actual dome. ‘A gentelmen’s swimming pool, this was … an extension to Charles Brill’s indoor sea-water swimming pool for ladies. Scott produced a design in 1866 for a light iron dome, sixty-five feet in diameter, over two levels of arcades, in Scott’s personal style with pointed arches with alternating voussoirs. It was then the largest swimming pool in Europe but the baths eventually lost their popularity, became run-down and in 1929 were demolished to make way for the Savoy cinema. With Scott’s love of domes, it is strange that he fails to mention Brill’s Baths anywhere, particularly in the two lectures on domes that he gave at the Royal Academy in 1872. Perhaps he felt that ‘the noblest of all forms by which a space can be covered’, was inappropriate for a swimming pool.’ From https://gilbertscott.org/brill-baths-brighton/ |
