Site type: Swimming Baths
Hazards: Slippery surfaces, asbestos
Status: Demolished in all but the facade
Recommended? : Yes if it was still there...

I loved this location! On the first floor of the front block were the public baths, literally a ceramic bath in it's own cubicle, really great to see! Then the main pool area itself was great, still with its supports in place from its last use when boarded over as a theatre/ballroom. Along with these areas there was also the somewhat more dilapidated boiler house out the back, changing rooms, a bar area, balcony/gallery seating, lots. Sadly it is now no more having been all but demolished, leaving only the facade/front block which is twinned with the still operational Town Hall building next door.
The stage still insitu, changing room cubicles on the right, viewed from the gallery:
