    This give me chills, it reminds me of awful swimming lessons in the 70s that my mum made me have, awful strong chlorine burning my eyes, chipped horrible floor tiles, changing cubicles along the pool and a dodgy swimming instructer who would just push us to in😫 happy days😭😭😭

  • @donnahughes3630

    there used to be benches all across the wall on the viewing platform. these baths are where i learnt to swim as a child, we spent many a happy day in that pool!

    • @FINDERSBEEPERS

      Yes I’m guessing they are the ones that were stacked up in one of the rooms! It’s a shame isn’t it

  • @abbie6326
    @abbie6326 Před 3 lety +7

    The chimney would have been for the coal that they would use for heating up the water for the pool back in the day. I also thing those little gullies are for water. I would imagine back in the day there was a natural stream or something that would flow through there. Could be wrong though.. Great video guys and had me in stitches yet again..

    When you went into the pool room it took me back to Bramley baths in Leeds, looked very similar. Good memories learning to swim, the cubicles were same think you only got an hour or so then had to get out. Depending if full. Thanks for this. Also pleasse consider putting a mask on in those dusty attics,. The other thought I had when you were in that tunnel....like a man putting his head in the lions mouth, braver than me. Love it. Happy valentine's to yr wives!

  • @toddmetzger
    @toddmetzger Před 3 lety +2

    It'd be sweet if you can get into that plant room. Those bricks into that tunnel were precarious. The lintel had definitely fallen down. That reminds me of a cart path for transporting materials between the plant and the pool. Many buildings constructed around the same time period here in the USA had similar tunnels to transport materials between buildings and some cities had large networks of those tunnels.

    historian Betty Cooper said: “There were first and second-class Turkish baths and vapour baths between the swimming pool and the fire station.

    • @mikestickersm3mxb279
      @mikestickersm3mxb279 Před 3 lety +4

      Patrons paid a shilling for a first-class Turkish bath and sixpence for a second. They were charged sixpence for a first-class vapour bath. A second-class one cost threepence.
      Designed by Absalom Reade Wood, the red brick and terracotta building is part of the town’s Jubilee Buildings, erected to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887.
      The main building, the Victoria Institute, in The Boulevard, contained an art school, library and technical college.
      The second building, in Greengates Street, housed an armoury, fire station, swimming pool and public baths.

    You've got to love the safety measures at this pool.
    "If you find yourself drowning, please promptly exit the pool and press the drowning alarm. Someone should be with you shortly."
    "In case of drowning, please use this rope to rescue yourself or others. Just kidding. No rope for you. You should have learned to swim. Idiot."
    I can't wait to see what other safety instructions they may have had in this building. Perhaps something along the lines of:
    "In case of fire, jump in the pool. Just remember, there's no safety rope." 😉
