The baths were situated on the corner of St James Street and Paradise Street, and yes, its that car park (near The Globe) that has a bit of a slope to it!

as Cashy says great pic , remember I/we used to go there on a bus from Arrod (Gt Harwood ) Top Council school , days before Norden on a friday afternoon for swiming lessons/weekly bath , thinking it was the first year of seconary school . seem to remember the "baths" were down a couple of flights of stairs..., strong smell of chlorine , think the girls had to change on the upper level and the lads on the pool side level ........ happy days
