The old Accy baths, which closed in late '76, used to really scare me as a child. They had those heavy meatal beams holding the glass ceiling up, and what looked like circular saws with jagged edges on them as decoration. I learned to swim there thinking quickly, they could fall down and kill me!

I remember the changing cubicles were seperated. The men's were around the side of the pool, and the ladies were upstairs round the balcony. I can't remember what happened with your clothes though. Did you have a key and lock the cubicle, or was there a basket which you left with an attendant?
