Govanhill Public Baths-back
In 2001 Glasgow City Council closed the Public wash-house/pool despite the fact that many people in the surrounding area didn’t have baths, showers or even the simplest of washing facilities, thus taking away the simple right to have a wash and the dignity of personal hygiene. Before the closure new baths were opened in the Bellahouston & Gorbals areas, neither of them have private washing facilities for individuals.

Wooden model
You can see the orientation between the front of the building & the main & ladies pool.
In the future the trust is hoping to utilize the ladies pool as hydrotherapy area.

main pool & viewing area
The arched window shows the Glasgow coat of arms
the tree that never grew,
the bird that never flew,
the fish that never swam,
the bell that never rang.

Ladies Pool & changing cubicles
Pre 1960’s segregated swimming was the norm with an exception of one day a week mixed bathing.(shocking!)

Concrete Roofing Struts
Most of the old Victorian public baths have been demolished due to the fact that the roofing struts where made of Iron & have oxidized making the structures unsound. Govanhill baths designed by A.B. McDonald used concrete for the Struts and they are still structurally sound. You can also see a rail with small hoops used to hang trapeze swings & ropes from.
