VICTORIA BATHS | LONGSIGHT | SWIMMING IN HERITAGE

For the last few days Victoria Baths in Longsight have taken part in the national programme of Heritage Open Days, opportunities for the public to tour buildings they wouldn't usually get access.

"Victoria Baths is a Grade II* listed building,situated in the Chorlton-upon-Medlock area of Manchester, in northwest England. The Baths opened to the public in 1906 and cost £59,144 to build. Manchester City Council closed the baths in 1993 and the building was left derelict. A multi-million pound restoration project began in 2007. 

As of 2009, the building is on English Heritage's Heritage at Risk Register"
