In former days, local authorities took their responsibilities very seriously and were always striving to improve the environment for their residents. This fine Public Baths building was constructed by the Borough of Rochdale shortly after the Urban District of Castleton had been absorbed into Rochdale, (the actual date of this being 9 April 1900) and are still in use, having provided recreational facilities for many thousands of working-class people over the years.
