Not one of the original features at Victoria Baths, this oriel window dedicated to Sunny Lowry was installed after her death. Sunny Lowry born in Jan 1911, learnt to swim at Victoria Baths and went on to swim the English Channel in 1933. She then dedicated her life to swimming, becoming a swimming and life-saving teacher. She was fit and healthy well into her nineties and actively supported the Victoria Baths campaign until her death in February 2008.
