These Baths are situated by the river Ouse, on the Manor<br />
Shore, near St. Mary's tower; <strong>and</strong> can be approached<br />
from Marygate by the new foot-path made through the<br />
walls, or from Lendal by a new road made near the ferry.<br />
The principal bath is 120 feet long <strong>and</strong> 80 feet wide.<br />
The river water is constantly flowing in ; <strong>and</strong> the bath is<br />
emptied out twice a week. The situation is secluded <strong>and</strong><br />
extremely salubrious.<br />
