We learned lots of interesting facts but to me this one was rather peculiar, all of their floors were held by strong pillars.

The most interesting facts that I learned were-
The underfloor heating systems the Romans used.
The different names of the rooms in the Bath House.
The things they used to clean themselves like the arm scraper and the ear cleaner.

I enjoyed the trip to the Wigan Life Museum. My favourite facts were;
- Frigidarium means cold and is where we get the name for fridge
- Toilets were called latrines
- People shared a sponge on a stick for toilet paper
- The sponge was dipped in vinegar before usage to clean it
- There was a foot rest on the toilet
- People shared the room with the toilets in
- There were no stall doors on the toilet
- People didn’t wash their hands
- The baths were heated with a fire pit
- The baths at the Grand Arcade had two fire pits
- The bath houses were high roofed
- They used a scraper to wipe sweat and dirt off themselves
