The Old Baths

A Memory of Dewsbury.

My memories of the old Dewsbury swimming baths (at the back of the police station) feels like memories from an earlier era older than myself. I used to visit the baths with my school once a wk for swimming lessons/excerise. I was always fisinated with the internal structure/decor and thinking back to the rows of changing rooms either side of the pool, with their swinging three quarter doors makes me shiver.
What trust we had in each other back them to simply leave our belongings in those, while we went off to enjoy ourselves.
There was the fancy steel railings too that made up the front of the balcony above the ground changing rooms, think there was changing rooms above too.
Are the baths still in use, I know the building is still there. Its not often I return to the town itself when I visit my family. I now live in Herfordshire, have done for the past 11 yrs.
