Wellingborough: Former Dulley's Swimming Baths, now the Museum
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 14 Jun 2019
This building, next to Swanspool Brook, was built in 1892 as an indoor swimming pool by David Dulley, a local Wellingborough brewer. In 1920, the building was bought by George J Cox (no relation to the photographer!) and converted into a shoe factory, as their Castle Works. The Cox business moved to larger premises in 1995, and a local businessman, Robert Wharton, then saved the building from demolition in a bid to preserve a part of the town’s heritage. It is now occupied by Wellingborough Museum.
