Harpurhey Baths - Feb 2006
Built in the early 1900's Harpurhey at the time of my visit was half the establishment in used to be. Being the neglected less glamourous cousin of the Victoria Baths has allowed this Grade II listed building to be hacked up and left to rot.
There are now plans in place to re-use what is to be kept of the buildings, though it's anyones guess when work may start on this? At least securing the buildings would be a first step? This is an amazing place with intricate decorative tiling, ornate metal work, beautiful woodwork, stained glass and fantastic huge spaces all being slowly destroyed by nature and not so slowly by men! A privelage to have seen!
