Taking the Waters

From the title commentary and the well fed patrons this would seem to be a scene at an Edwardian spa. Taking the waters was popular in Victorian and Edwardian times; Scarborough and Harrogate were noted Yorkshire spa towns.

The caption says ”Theres a girl wanted here”. A foot transplant would be more suitable than darning these socks.
