Another view of the alcoves, which I think were for changing clothes.

At the very heart of the site is the Sacred Spring. Hot water at a temperature of 46°C rises here at the rate of 1,170,000 litres (240,000 gallons) every day and has been doing this for thousands of years, long before the Romans developed it. In the past this phenomenon was believed to be the work of the ancient gods. In Roman times a great Temple was built next to the Spring dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, a deity with healing powers.

I think these alcoves were for bathers to dress/undress.
