History group visit old baths

0

A VISIT to the Art Nouveau-style Victoria Baths in Manchester was enjoyed by Culcheth Local History Group.
The visit was the group’s annual outing and members were escorted around the site by two volunteers.
They saw the grand entrance, which was for first class male users only, and the two separate entrances for second class male and female users.
Members heard that the project won a restoration grant in a competition on the television. So far the frontage has been restored.
Volunteers are looking for further funding to continue the work.
The group’s next meeting is on September 9 with a talk by Margaret Fellows on Warrington Clergy Institutions, at Culcheth Library.
