Warrington Baths 1866 - 2010
I don't know the photographer but Karen stumbled over this set tonight and showed them to me.
This is where I first learned to swim in the 1970's and eventualy went on to swim competitively for Warriors of Warrington and NW England.
So sad to see the demise of the place as I've such fond memories of all the pools but I guess times move on.
Although closed in 2003 the place was finally demolished from what I can gather in 2010.

HDR suits them well. Reminds me of the swimming baths closed down near our comprehensive school - all of us used to sneak into them, naughty sods we were!
