I'm walking!
Granpaw was the Pond Manager and lived "above " the Baths in Melville St.
There was a door in the stair led into the Baths
I mind being in the water tower and seeing the" settling tank".
There was a wee fish lived in it and an anenome
The building nest to the water tower , now derelict was the laundry, the towels that were hired out were washed in there
It had HUGE sinks, well they seemed huge to me and a perpetual smell of carbolic soap
I'm sure Granpaw called the boiler Bertha

It is indeed the salt water intake for the Baths
The sand level was much lower then as can be seen by this photo taken at the foot of what is now Bellfield St ( then Melville St )

Speaking to my dad he reckons the low tide objects are indeed the old sea water intake for the Baths
The settling tower was up the wee lane at the side, then the water pumped over the road to the boiler.
Not quite sure when the Baths stopped being salt water, maybe someone alse remembers.
