This is The Sunlight Chambers on the corner of Parliament street and Essex Quay. It was built in 1902 as the headquarters for Lord Lever (of Lever Brothers), the friezes depict the history of hygiene. It is said by some to be one of the first unofficial advertising's the city had.
It looks like collecting bath water was a major and communal effort back then.
