    I DID google it and those pictures are from Manchester Evening News so they are Victoria Baths Manchester that was subject to a Lottery Heritage Fund - I do not recognise them as our old baths at all. If you click on pictures it takes you to Victoria Baths web page but it is Manchester

    It has been said that when helping people change their behaviour – “the spirit in which help is offered” is the most important aspect, more than the degree of skills and knowledge of the helper!

    On Facebook try - The Southport Of Yesterday - then on left hand side there is a place to search, put Victoria Swimming baths. Eventually you will find pictures. Good luck

    My link took you to an old photo of the Victoria Baths in Southport, not Manchester. Trust me, I lived in them when I was a kid.
