Otherwise known as "Broadway Baths", the building dates from the 1930s and is proudly adorned with the City of Manchester's crest. Two separate baths were provided, each marked by a peaked roof. Generations of schoolchildren from New Moston and Chadderton learned to swim here - whether they wanted to or not.
