Make your way toward Barker's Pool. Don't tell me you can't find it it's been know by that name since around 1570, and no that isn't ten past four.*
You are now well poised to take a dip in any of the water features. These water features were installed to provide washing facilities for those within the City bounds to whom access to a bath was not possible. It is not unusual to see, often on a Friday or Saturday evening, the foaming water from where someone has availed themselves of the opportunity for a wash and used slightly too much bubble bath while they were at it.
The tall structure to the right is actually a loofah holder.
What incredible wonders, right here on our doorstep.
It is a pity about the lack of towels though.**
* Variations of this joke construction have been told by anyone from Basil Brush to, er, many people that don't have a hand operating them.
** Always know where your towel is.
