Whitworth Baths, Openshaw

Whitworth Baths viewed from South Street in Openshaw. The baths were built in 1890 and designed by a Manchester architect named J.W.Beaumont, and housed a Turkish bath. I would have liked to have had a look around inside, but I wasn't able to find any access, not legally anyway. Having looked at other photos of the building on the internet, it looks as though it has some very well preserved original tiling inside.
