Looking Back: Daubhill's High Street Baths got a makeover before the war

They might not look as though they are ready for the pool and that’s because these workmen had been helping to renovate Bolton’s High Street Baths in 1937.

No doubt many Looking Back readers will remember the baths in Daubhill.

At either side of the pool were the individual changing cubicles. The wooden chairs stacked in front of them would be for spectators when swimming galas were held there.

The baths, which opened in 1903, closed in 1985 after structural faults proved too costly to repair.

Bridgeman Street Baths.

We chatted about this just a few months ago about a more modern 'old' picture of the baths (1954) on this thread -

Looking Back: Bridgeman Street Baths given a facelift in Fifties (boltonnuts.co.uk)

Looks very similar to Moss St baths that was at the bottom of Halliwell road.

Typed my message above and then looked at the old thread and realised i made almost the same comment

At least you are consistent!

I thought I had posted one of these looking back articles in the past but couldn’t remember.
