Description
Roker Terrace was the first street to be built at Roker in the 1840s. The Roker Baths Hotel was designed by John Dobson. It was so named because the owner pumped sea water into the the building to provide hot and cold showers and steam vapour baths for guests. The Roker Hotel, as it is now called, is much altered but is interesting and an increasing rare example of a spa hotel, which were popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
