Brine Memories Project
The earliest memories we’ve collected take us back to the early 1940s when the Royal Brine Baths were still operating
We’ve recorded a number of people who went to the St Andrew's brine baths (on the site of the current Droitwich Heritage Centre)
Pam used to visit the St Andrew's baths with her parents in the 1950s
After bathing at St Andrew's, you were wrapped in a huge white towel
Various celebrities and VIPs visited St Andrew's
Many people who bathed at St Andrew's borrowed swimming costumes, but some brought their own
We were lucky enough to record a lady who had worked at the St Andrew's Brine Baths in the 1950s
Hazel was able to tell us about the various brine treatments at St Andrew's
Dr Roger Peberdy prescribed brine treatment to patients in the 1960s
We have also recorded people who used the BMI baths in the 1980s and 1990s
This is a poem inspired by trips to the BMI baths
