During my recent research into "Victorian Leisure" for my local history group, I came across the the above photograph.

It doesn't look very safe, or pleasant, does it?

And the 'bathers' don't look very happy either.

In fact, all of them are standing rather than swimming.

I can't say that I blame them!

Perhaps it is a 'dip' for immigrants coming into the country. I have read of such indignities suffered by those immigrants who wished to enter the United States. They were inspected as if they were animals.
