Detail InformationEdit

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 built was left derelict. A multi-million pound restoration project began in 2007. As of 2009, the building is on English Heritage’s Buildings at Risk Register.
It was designed by the City Surveyor T. De Courcy Meade and his assistant Arthur Davies and the work supervised by Henry Price the newly appointed city architect.[citation needed] The baths were opened in September 1906 by the Lord Mayor of Manchester who described the building as a “water palace”. For 86 years the Baths provided both essential and leisure facilities. Private baths and a laundry were housed there along with three swimming pools and a Turkish Bath. The main swimming pool was floored over in the winter months to hold dances. In 1952 the Victoria Baths installed the first public Aeratone (jacuzzi) in the country.
