What was once the Mineral Baths, now houses the Information Centre for Buxton. Its thermal springs were attractions in Roman times when Buxton was known as Aquae Arnemetiae. Mary, Queen of Scots, visited Buxton on several occasions while being kept a prisoner before her execution in 1587. She used the thermal waters to cure her rheumatism. The plaque commemorates the re-opening of the thermal baths in 1924.
