Does anyone know when the baths and wash house closed down, I think the wash house closed first but I am not sure. There is a difference of opinion here but I will say nothing. However I can remember the penny (old money) plunge.

The Scottie Roader.
Around 1960 wasn't it?

Definitely not in the 60's. I left school in 1974 and I remember going to the baths after I left school.
The Scottie Roader.
I went to Burroughs Baths in 1976, a gang of us from Gerard Gardens. There was a beetle in the water and it wasn't George Harrison. The wash house had well closed by then though.
i used to go to the baths in late fifties used the penny plunge loads of times you alternated with the females with the big baths it wasnt mixed bathing then

I learned to swim there in the late 1970's. My class at St Georges Everton would be taken there once a week for swimming lessons. I remember it was very old fashioned and the water was usually freezing!
