Lytham Baths 1928 - Page eighteen

A Final Word.

It now only requires a full and proper appreciation by the general public of the extent and result of the reconstruction of the Baths to make the history of them something of which to be justly proud.

The facilities afforded are probably unrivalled in England. Many winds have contributed to this end, many difficulties have had to be overcome, butthe result is worth while. It means progressanother step towards a healthier genera­tion and a happier citizenship.

A Guide Book, indicating the beauty spots in Lytham St. Annes,
can be obtained from the Town Clerk's Department,
Town Hall, St. Annes.

MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT

ON

Lytham Saint Annes

The Borough of Lytham Saint Annes possesses many advantages from a health point of view. The climate is equable, dry and moderately bracing. The winters are usually mild, and the summers not unpleasantly warm.

The soil is of a porous, sandy nature, and after rain drying takes place very quickly. There is a marked absence of mist and fog.

The aspect of the curving coast line is south at Lytham, south-west at Ansdell, and due west at Saint Annes.

The water supply, obtained from the Rivers Calder and Hodder, and the Grizedale Brook, is abundant, and of excellent quality.

Sufferers from rheumatism, asthma, and various bronchial complaints, are enabled to live here in comparative comfort. Convalescents from debilitating disease, elderly persons, and those affected with heart trouble, can get about easily, owing to the conformation of the Borough, which is entirely flat, with the exception, of the sand dunes. Hydrotherapy and almost every kind of electrical treatment are available, and the most up-to-date Remedial Baths have been constructed.

JOHN P. LITT, M.D., D.P.H.,

Medical Officer of Health.
