. The St James' Street Baths were officially opened on 9 June 1932. It was built on a site formerly occupied by the Christ Church Schools and was designed by the Borough Estates Surveyor, Mr R E Ford, assisted by Mr F D Whiteley and Mr H J Ward. It cost £10,000 to build and equip and the general contractors were Messrs Walter Firth Ltd of Doncaster.

The building contained swimming, slipper, Turkish and Russian baths. The pool was the first public swimming bath in England to be fitted with underwater lighting through the provision of twenty-four powerful electric lights along the sides of the pool.

During the winter the main hall was accessed through a different entrance and the pool was covered over with boards to give way to concerts and film screenings and in the early 1960's The Beatles played here for £40.

Is this still standing/accessible? It's been on my list for a long time but I haven't got round to doing it properly. And decent report, I like the locker room picture especially, it looks quite eerie.

Does anyone know about current access? I would greatly appreciate a PM and would be happy to give credit in report as well as trade location information for other places
