Description

The public baths, wash house and library on the corner of Neate Street and Wells Way, Camberwell, were built in 1902. The building was designed by Maurice Adams and was funded in part by John Pasmore Edwards, journalist and philanthropist. It is a Grade II Listed building. The Camberwell Beauty butterfly was the emblem of the nearby stationery manufacturer Samuel Jones & Co. The mural was relocated to the wash house building after the firm moved from Camberwell in the 1980s.
