...more ---> ...Last Sunday marked the end of another successful London Open House weekend with hundreds of visitors passing through the Marshall Street doors to view the unique architecture, 1930's pool and the plans for regeneration. It was a historic occasion as it was the final time we will be taking part in the Open House weekend, as building work will be underway this time next year.
We were privileged to have a visit this year from the children of the superintendent of the baths during the 30's, 40's and 50's and we gained a real insight in to life living in the basement of the building and war-time swimming galas!
