War Memorial, The Slopes, Buxton, Derbyshire, England

Right beside the Crescent, you'll find we reach Buxton's former Thermal Baths. While the buildings have changed to become a shopping arcade, the legend "BUXTON BATHS" is still prominent in the facade. Changing fashions, advances in medicine and the founding of Britain's National Health Service in the 1948 put paid to Buxton's spa trade and forced the change of use apparent in this case. In fact, it was the NHS that finished off the baths as a commercially viable concern. In stark contrast, the large bulk of the Palace Hotel appears in the background as if to remind us of the prosperity of the place in different times and it remains open for business in its original guise too.
