Harpurhey Baths, Manchester - March 08

[ThenewMendoza]

I'll be honest and say I haven't been able to find much on the history of these Victorian Baths, closed in 2001 after structural faults were found in the building they have been left to rot for the past seven years.

This was my second visit, the first being with Romanian1 in December last year (2007), not much has changed in the last few months, although I did notice the place looked a little tidier this time round. Visited with Havoc after we decided we wanted somewhere easy and chilled out to explore.

Anyways, here's the pics...

Well that seems gloriously un-chavved! Love the wood panels

Excellent pics. Really like this place, and love seeing the wooden panelled bathrooms on the top floor of the pool side. Not seen those before. and like seeing the changing rooms at the side of the pool. ( used to have those types of changing rooms at the victoria baths in nottingham). Love that pay booth.

Excellent.

Cheers,

Few of mine anyway.
